Read the excerpt from the interview with E.Y. (Yip) Harburg. The prevailing greeting at that time, on every block you passed, by

some poor guy coming up, was: “Can you spare a dime?” Or: “Can you spare something for a cup of coffee?” . . . “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” finally hit on every block, on every street. I thought that could be a beautiful title. If I could only work it out by telling people, through the song, it isn’t just a man asking for a dime. This is the man who says: I built the railroads. I built that tower. I fought your wars. I was the kid with the drum. Why the hell should I be standing in line now? What happened to all this wealth I created? Why does Harburg feel that “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” is a legitimate question, not just a plea from a beggar?
With their hard work, these individuals had invested in their country and they deserved to be suitably rewarded.
Manual labor jobs were replaced by white-collar jobs, so construction workers had no more options.
A dime was only a small amount of money that could feed an entire family for many days.
All of the wealthy had retained their riches, while the poor had to suffer through the Depression.

Answer: The right answer is the A) With their hard work, these individuals had invested in their country and they deserved to be suitably rewarded.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this song, which E.Y. "Yip" Harburg co-authored in 1932, became very representative of the Great Depression. “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” was a legitimate question because it was asked by hardworking and decent individuals who had contributed to the progress of the country, and all of the sudden found themselves unemployed and unable to provide for themselves and for their families.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

A. The way that students dress changes with each generation, but uniforms are trying to curb that individuality

Explanation:

The option above will make a good thesis for Carrie because she would be arguing from the point of view of her school placing a ban on students wearing shorts.

<em>This is because, </em><em>few generations ago, the school rules could have been all students to wear long blouse, as the decades progress, it changes to ankle length blouse, to knee length blouse and finally to trousers. </em><em>This shows that, the student dresses changes with each generation.</em>

Read this excerpt from Patrick Henry's speech "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death." What is the main idea of the text?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<em>The colonists have no other choice but to prepare for war if they want freedom.</em>

Explanation:

Patrick Henry was an attorney, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, and governor of Virginia.

Patriots, whom he represented, were the ones who were for independence from British influence. On the other side were Loyalists who supported the rule of the British government.

In this speech, he states that they tried every peaceful way in order to stop British autocracy, but with no success. So, now the only way to gain freedom is to fight for it.
