Answer:

H. G. Wells shows both the upper and lower classes evolving into degraded forms

.

Explanation:

In "The Time Machine", Herbert George Wells shows  contrasting picture of the concept of Social Darwinism. Social Darwinism applied Charles Darwin's theory of the "<em>survival of the fittest</em>". The rich will become more rich while the poor will get poorer, maintaining the gap between the two classes. But in the novel, Wells depicts the lesser privileged group, the Morlocks as more superior than the developed upper class, the Eloi. The Morlocks represent the lower working class while the Eloi are the Victorian ruling class. The concept of the higher class passing on their "successful" genes to their future generation is refuted, with the twist of fates in the novel. But Wells also shows both classes evolving into a much more degraded forms of individuals, contrasting Darwin's claims of humans developing into much better individuals.

The way by which HG Wells refutes the theory of social darwinism in the time machine is by showing that both the upper and lower classes have evolved into degraded forms.  The Eloi may have evolved to be be perfect and beautiful but they have grown lazy, weak and fearful of the Morlocks, who  very aggressive though they appear primitive.

In Langston Hughes's poem "Justice," what is Justice a symbol of?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

C. the justice system skewed against African Americans.

Explanation:

Here's the poem:

That Justice is a blind goddess

Is a thing to which <u>we black are wise</u>:

Her bandage hides two festering sores

That once perhaps were eyes.

Notice how Hughes writes that "we black are wise." This implies that the justice he speaks of (which is referred to as a "her" throuhgout the poem) is "blind" when it comes to the struggles of African Americans.

Choice A is incorrect because the poem clearly implies that the justice system is biased against blacks.

Choice B is incorrect because the poem calls justice "blind," which implies that she is flawed.

Choice D is incorrect because there is no mention of "human rights" or not caring." Justice is described as being "blind" which does not imply either.
