Answer:  

The author means that when people with power attempt to be fair they will be torn between two groups the people (critics) who feel that their choice is incorrect and the ones who feel that it is correct due to the situation. So kind of like the subject of bringing beheading back in the US many feel it is a horrible idea but many also feel it is correct. And for the second one, I am not sure because I have not read your article only the seventh paragraph.

According to the author, we shouldn't justify our own inertia by constantly claiming that life is unfair. People are not born in equal circumstances, but they have equal chances to make the best of their circumstances. Leaders, more than any other people, shouldn't fall prey to such vague concepts as fairness. Many things aren't fair, and that is true. Then again, many fair things wouldn't be the right things to do. Leaders should choose what is right over what is presumably fair. By pursuing "fairness", we are fooling ourselves, and providing an excuse for complaining instead of acting.

Which of these is most likely why the townspeople engaged in bullying talk about Matt's mule?
-Dominant- [34]

The most likely reason why the townspeople engaged in bullying talk about Matt's mule is:

D. The town was incredibly boring and they had nothing better to talk about.

This question is taking from "Their Eyes Were Watching God"

<h3>Their Eyes Were Watching God </h3>

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" is a book written by Zora Neale Hurston.

At Joe's stores, there were porch sitters who sat on the porch discussing. They sit down there and talk about Matt's mule, accusing Matt of mistreating the mule. Joe forbids Janie from taking part in the discussion.

For such people just discussing aimlessly actually means the town was boring and they didn't have any other better thing to say.

Read each literary element. Then, sorth them by whether they belong to a story or a poem
Orlov [11]

The literary components that belong to a story are time and place, a series of events, and fictional people, and the literary components that belong to a poem are words representing ideas, a group of lines, and words with the same sound.

<h3>What are Literary elements?</h3>

In literature, literary elements may be defined as components of a literary work that are employed for illustrating the character's action, setting, plot, theme, structure, exposition, ending, denouement, motif, titling, description, etc of the poem or story.

The literary elements of both poem and story may differ a lot. A poem illustrates the short idea behind any topic while a story illustrates a descriptive thought and emotions over a long duration of time.

The complete question is as follows;
