The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes Licked its ton

gue into the corners of the evening Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains, Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys, Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap, And seeing that it was a soft October night Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

a cat

The poem describes the fog as having a back it rubs on the window-panes. This immediately eliminates blanket as an option since the blanket doesn't have a back. Also, it later talks about the fog having a tongue, which a blanket does not have. It's also not a rat. A rat is often described with much more negative traits. The words "slipped" and "leap" are not usually descriptions for rats. A prowler also has a more negative connotation than what is portrayed in the poem. There is no indication that anything has been stolen. Also, at the end, the fog simply curls up and goes to sleep. It is much more peaceful than a prowler or rat would be.

Match the description in column 1 with the economic term in column 2.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

How old people live on average → Life expectancy

How economic and political power is distributed between the sexes → Gender Empowerment Measure

How many people live below the average quality of life → Human Poverty Index

Wealth of the whole economy → Gross domestic product.

Explanation:

I have been able to match the description with the economic term.

Life expectancy is usually referred to as the expected number of years one is expected to live. So, it gives details on how old people live on average.

Gender Empowerment Measure (abbrev. as GEM) is known as a measure of inequalities which exists between the opportunities of men and women in a country. These inequalities are seen in political and economical power.

Human Poverty Index (abbrev. as HPI) was known to measure the poverty of community in a country. It was developed by the United Nations. It actually assesses three elements of deprivation that is found in a country –knowledge, longevity, and a decent standard of living.

Gross Domestic Product (abbrev. as GDP) is known to be used in estimating the economic growth rate of a country. It is the monetary value of all the goods and services that are made in a country at a specific period of time.
