Answer: d. a publicly perceived risk of siting a toxic or nuclear waste disposal facility near their homes.

Explanation:

"NIMBY" literally means "Not In My Back Yard". It is a pejorative to describe the reaction of a group of people, generally, homeowners, who refuse to build a facility that they consider to be dangerous for themselves, a property, their community, or even their lifestyle.

This attitude is viewed in a bad way since people generally refuse to let the construction be carried out for personal reasons, they even agree that the construction should be carried out in another distant place.

An example of this is when the government wants to build an airport, people generally do not want to build them near their homes because of the increased noise it generates, but they always agree that more airports be built.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

C. The state provided workers at a low-cost to private businesses and plantations.

Explanation:

The convict lease system is a business operation planned by The Prisons in Georgia to turn their convict into labor force.

Private companies (mostly who operated in construction industry) can submit a request to the prison for someone that they can use as workers for their project. In return, the companies will pay some amount of money to the Prison.

Compared to hiring workers from the actual job market, hiring from prisons typically cost the companies a lot less since they technically do not have to compensate the prisoners.
