Explanation:

The quote is said by Amir.

Amir and Baba moved to America from Afghanistan. Amir hopes to erase and forget his past which is pain full and fierce. He is looking for something that can cover up all his past sorrows.

                      Amir symbolizes river to America and sees America as a fortune to forget all his guilt that he has committed in the past and move on in his life without his past haunting him. This is chance for him and Baba to start a new beginning a new life at America.

Amir thing and believes America like a river which flows and carries all his guilts and sins that he has committed in the past. River is always flowing and it ends at the ocean. Likewise the river is carrying and washing away all his past guilt and dumping it in the ocean which will again reflect back to him in the future. Thus America is temporarily for the meantime erasing all his past sins and AMir is moving on in his life with Baba.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

If the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Mexican peso is 1 peso = $0.11, and the U.S. dollar price per Mexican peso changes to 1 peso =$0.10, the peso is said to have depreciated and the dollar to have appreciated.

Explanation:

Depreciation is an economic term that indicates that a certain currency falls in value relative to another currency.

The opposite is appreciation: the currency in question rises in value relative to another currency.

Because of the change in the exchange rate compared to the other currency, you can buy more or less with your own currency in the period before the change in the exchange rate.

A(n) <u>natural</u> join returns not only the rows matching the join condition (that is, rows with matching values in the common columns) but also the rows with unmatched values.

<h3><u>What is a "natural join"?</u></h3>

By default, natural joins are natural inner joins, however, they can also be natural left, right, and full outer joins. The main distinction between an inner join and a natural join is that an inner join has a join condition that is specified explicitly, whereas a natural join's conditions are determined by matching all pairs of columns in the tables that have the same name and compatible data types, which makes natural joins equijoin because the join condition is equal between common columns.
