The correct form is because
I think its "The hero is usually an outsider who starts out as an underdog."
Answer:
The correct answer is option B. Because their workers fled the country.
Explanation:
This happened during the Great Depression.
During the decade of the 30, <u>the stock market fell</u> and the <u>companies began to declare bankruptcy</u>. People did not have enough resources to buy, which caused a chain in which <u>companies stopped producing</u> and many of their workers were fired, while some fled the country in search of something better.
During this crisis, farmers produced at a record level, but having to lower prices because people had no money to buy their products, they were forced to generate even more production in order to pay their taxes and bills.
Many of them failed, having to declare bankruptcy or even losing their farms.
If the options are metaphor, alliteration, allusion, and apostrophe, I believe the answer is metaphor, because the others don't fit.
Alliteration is the repetition of a consonant.
Allusion is reference to something or somebody outside of that literary work.
And apostrophe is the author speaking directly to somebody outside the poem, usually gods or a muse.
