Elizabeth Gaskell's Ruth is a social novel, also know as "problem novel" that deals with the old Victorian views about legitimacy and sinful behaviors. Gaskell portrays an outcast, "a fallen woman" in a very compassionate way.
It is demonstrated how the society would act towards a mother who conceived a child out of a marriage and how the main character, Ruth, is viewed as an evil and sinful person, despite the fact that she is actually good from what we can see. A proof of that would be the fact that she was willing to act as a nurse for typhus victims. She even treated Bellingham who was responsible for her ruin.
It is also interesting to note that she was not treated as a bad person or unwanted person by the townspeople who actually appreciated her nursing care. She also did not speak down to them. She recognized their needs and they were thankful for that.
Answer: No the question "Which credit cards do my friends use?" would not be answered by the selection "Credit Cards-Credit Where Credit's Due" because the selection is talking about the credit and where it is due not about the type of credit card your friend has or uses.
Explanation: I think the answer would be no because it is about Credit Cards-Credit not about them advertising their credit cards in themselves. It would have been different if the selection was something around the lines of "Which Credit Card Is Used Most" or "Credit Cards People Use But Which Is Best?"
