Answer:
Examples and Statistics
Explanation:
The examples being 'they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers' and 'they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals'. The statistics are the resources they've used to write this (ex. Schulten, Rolfe, Michaels, etc.) and the information they've drawn from it.
Number one would be Overnight. Number two would be Last. Number three would be either Before or The Holidays but I am 99.9% sure it is "Before". Number four would be Unlocked. Number five would be Due. A modifier is a word that without the word the sentence would have a different meaning, from my experience :)
Answer:
The meaning of this excerpt is:
A) The speaker believes that she and her peers ought to be in charge of assigning sentences in cases like Hester’s.
Explanation:
Hester Prynne is the main character in Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter", published in 1850. The story is set in Puritan Boston, in the 1600s. <u>Hester has a child as a result of an affair, which leads to her being publicly humiliated. She is forced to wear a scarlet A in her chest, as a sign of her sin - adultery. Still, in the excerpt we are analyzing here, there are those who think of this as a light sentence. The woman who is speaking believes matters such as the one involving Hester should fall into her own hands and the hands of other pious women. They should be the ones punishing, choosing the sentence of women like Hester. </u>
