Answer:

penury (Chapter 1)

emaciated (Chapter 4)

adduced (Chapter 8)

Explanation:

I've chosen the three words above from the novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. After looking them up in a dictionary, I was able to define them as the following:

penury - oppressive lack of resources; extreme poverty.

emaciated - thin and weak due to lack of food or due to illness.

adduced - past form of adduce - to give reasons as to why you believe something to be true.

Now, let's write sentences with the same context as given in the text of the novel:

Original: [...] while the number of half-clothed children gathered about it spoke of penury in its worst shape.

New sentence: The penury that desolates the country is clearly noted in children's bare feet and bloated stomachs.

Original: My cheek had grown pale with study, and my person had become emaciated with confinement.

New sentence: Her once glowing skin was now emaciated after a whole month in the hospital.

Original: [...] and as her confusion had before been adduced as a proof of her guilt, she worked up her mind to an appearance of courage.

New sentence: My tears were adduced as proof of my feelings for the deceased young man, even though I denied knowing him at all.

Do you think people ever questioned or rebelled against the caste system? Why or why not?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Manusmriti, widely regarded to be the most important and authoritative book on Hindu law and dating back to at least 1,000 years before Christ was born, "acknowledges and justifies the caste system as the basis of order and regularity of society".

According to one long-held theory about the origins of South Asia's caste system, Aryans from central Asia invaded South Asia and introduced the caste system as a means of controlling the local populations. The Aryans defined key roles in society, then assigned groups of people to them.

5.) A student is writing an argumentative essay for a class. The student wants to revise the draft to improve the development of
kap26 [50]

Answer: "A school district can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue from the ads over the course of several years." & "Ads would need to be limited to those that target adults outside of the school buses and not the children inside."

Explanation:

The sentence "In fact, putting limitations on anything helps make things more beneficial for people." sounds short with no proof or evidence.

"Student(s) may have thought this made a good point that helps support the argument that ads should be allowed on school buses." They may have given some evidence, but it's not the strongest.

"An advertising program can greatly benefit a school district as long as there are limitations put on the ads." This is basically just rewording the claim.

The other two sentences are correct because it shows strong proof of the reasons in a understanding way.
