Answer:
The theme of good people coping with bad circumstances
Explanation:
<u>The theme of bad people prevailing over good people</u> – this is not the right answer. Dickens’ novels do have the endings when good people end happily.
<u>The theme of rigid adherence to social norms and patterns </u>– this is not the correct answer. Some of Dickens's characters went extremely against the norms of society.
<u>The theme of societal improvement through charitable works </u>– this is not the right answer. Dickens's work did not deal much with the subject of charitable work.
<u>The theme of good people coping with bad circumstances – this is the correct answer. Many of Dickens’ works dealt with good people who found themselves in unfortunate circumstances and had to fight hard for a better life.</u> <em>David Copperfield</em> follows the life of a man from childhood, as he goes through ups and downs when both of his parents die, and he is sent to a strict boarding school. In <em>Great Expectations</em>, both protagonist, Pip, and his love, Estella, live in the lamentable circumstances and have to fight through life. In the novel <em>Oliver Twist</em>, the protagonist of the same name is also an orphan who lives difficult life and meets people who use him; other characters in the novel, for example, Nancy, are described as nice people who had hard life shaped by bad experiences.

As per the question, option B most appropriately applies this concept of 'time and motion study' as Burger Barn's attempts to reach a standard goal('best way to create an ice cream confection') <u>by evaluating it through comparison('..compared it with the FroYo operations down the street') to test its efficiency and then, applying it to establish the improved or enhanced operation(came up with a hybrid version of the two).</u> Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
a billion people, two-thirds of them women, will enter the 21st century unable to read a book or write their names,” warns UNICEF in a new report, “The State of the World’s Children 1999.”
UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, points out that the illiterate “live in more desperate poverty and poorer health” than those who can read and write. The shocking number — 1 billion people illiterate — generated frightening headlines in major newspapers.
Poverty in the poorest countries is indeed something that ought to concern all of us, especially in a season when we pause to remember the less fortunate. But as usual, there’s more to this striking statistic than UNICEF tells us. Consider three points.
