America's presidents have had to make many important decisions during their terms in office. They made many of these important c

hoices in the famous Oval Office. The Oval Office is the private office of the President of the United States of America. Located in the West Wing of the White House, the Oval Office represents the power and responsibility of the president.
2 Before President Howard Taft built the original Oval Office, most presidents living in the White House did their work in the room that is now called the Lincoln Bedroom. In 1909, President Taft built the first Oval Office in the West Wing of the White House. Taft built the office because he wanted his staff to have a center from which they could all work. A fire in the West Wing damaged the original Oval Office in 1929. President Herbert Hoover, however, restored the office after the fire. When Franklin Roosevelt became president, he moved the Oval Office to a different section of the West Wing so he could easily enter the office in his wheelchair. President Roosevelt completed the modern Oval Office in 1934, and it has stayed in the same place ever since.
What is the most likely reason the author includes paragraph 2 in the passage?

A) to introduce the topic
B) to summarize the main idea
C) to generate the reader’s interest
D) to provide background information

D)Although the structure of the office has remained the same, each president has decorated the office in his own way.

I think the answer is D because:

"Located in the West Wing of the White House, the Oval Office represents the power and ^responsibility of the president...Although the structure of the office has remained the same, each president has decorated the office in his own way. The style of the room often changes when a new president takes office. The first Oval Office had green drapes and carpeting. Since then, the drapes and carpeting have been many different colors. Presidents also change the arrangement and types of furniture in the office."

It shows that the president will have have the choice and it's his responsibility to decorate the Oval office.

"The Oval Office is a symbol of the president and will interest the public for generations to come."

The oval office is a symbol of the president, which means that it shows how the president lives and the president's style.

i hope this helps ....

if it does please mark me as brainliest :)

Readme [11.4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u />

<em>Two differences between the emotional and physical effects of unemployment among newly qualified educators in South Africa: </em>

A permanent job doesn’t have a defined end date and the employee receives benefits. In a temporary one, the employee works for a defined duration. It’s contractual. Depending on the employee group, some temporary positions provide additional payment and some benefits.

Nowadays, unemployment is seen among newly qualified educators in South Africa. Unemployment itself has many effects on the human mind and health. It impacts one’s self-confidence and gives rise to a constant feeling of being useless. These are the emotional effects. Unemployment can cause stress which may affect physical health deterioration. Due to these reasons, the newly qualified educators in South Africa sometimes find some jobs that are not aligned with their degrees .
