Answer:
The type of system of promotion that is in effect at the group home for disabled adults is a merit-based promotion system.
Explanation:
Merit-based promotions are granted due to the favorable job performance of the employee or because they have shown a particular competence or capability in their record of service for the organization or firm. This is in contrast to seniority-based promotions, which are generally decided based on the length of time someone has been employed at a company. Sometimes there are accusations in merit-based systems that management favors certain employees over others. This is why larger firms usually seek a way to recognize merit objectively to avoid accusations of favoritism. In merit-based systems, employees are motivated to do their best work and to contribute to overall organizational effectiveness.
The entire situation with the colonies revolting from British control wouldn't have happened without the Seven Years War (of which the section happening in the North American colonies is called the "French and Indian War").
The British only raised taxes, which is the thing that first upset the American Colonies, to pay down the debt from fighting that war.
The British wouldn't have been considering allowing the Catholic settlers from Canada to move into the Ohio Valley and to keep those from the American Colonies out if they hadn't won the war, since Canada would still have been French.
The American colonists would have had less grievances with the British for the way that the leadership of the British armies messed up in the Colonies if the war hadn't happened.
The American colonists wouldn't have had as many experienced combatants and leaders (Washington being a huge one that learned his skill in war fighting for the British) without the earlier war taking place.
The correct answer is:
The author's purpose for the allusion is to emphasize how seriously the relationship is doomed.
Romeo and Juliet was a tragic story. Two star-crossed lovers who could not be together, and have a sustaining relationship. Comparing Sasha and Karl to this really shows how these two face a similar proposition. Their relationship is doomed. They can't be together like Romeo and Juliet could not be together.
