Based on the historical setting, why does Paul have two different names? Paul is close with Cassie and his mother, so they enjoy

having a nickname for him. Paul’s father and his wife have reserved the name Edward for one of their white sons. Paul’s father believes the name Edward is more dignified, and he calls Paul by that name in public. Paul’s relationship with his white father and their shared name is not acceptable to society.

Answer:

Paul’s relationship with his white father and their shared name is not acceptable to society.

Explanation:

Mildred D Taylor's novel "The Land," tells the life story Paul-Edward, the son of a white plantation owner and his black mistress. The story follows the young Paul and his life struggles to come to terms with his biracial identity.

As given in the excerpt from the text, we see Paul narrating how he came to be named Paul-Edward. He points out how his father would call him by his name<em> "Paul-Edward"</em> but only when they are alone for he believes that calling/ giving his name to a biracial/illegitimate child <em>"wouldn't be fitting"</em>. So, calling him by their shared name openly in the white-dominated society, amidst the slavery issue, will not be acceptable to the society.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is the fourth/last option</u>.

Which statement best describes Margaret Sanger? She advocated for women's right to own property and campaigned for the Married W
Marina CMI [18]

She advocated for women's health and helped educate women about birth control and family planning.

Margaret Sanger is the founder of Planned Parenthood.

During the early 20th century, Margaret Sanger worked with women, in particular immigrant women, to discover family planning. Sanger wanted birth control methods legalized to help women control the size of their families. She also believed in eugenics which meant she believed certain populations of people should be controlled in their birthrate to prevent large numbers of undesirable people. Common thinking of the time was to control the rate at which immigrants, in particular Catholic immigrants, were having children. Pushing for women's health and birth control to be legal would help to develop a more controlled and moral society in her opinion.

One of these took place because of Greece and Turkey's attempts to resist the spread of Communism?
Kazeer [188]

The attempt to stop communism from spreading to Greece and Turkey after World War II was due to the Truman Doctrine.

The Truman Doctrine was a law proposed by US President Harry Truman. His goal was to stop the spread of communism (also known as containment). To ensure that Greece and Turkey (which are close to the Soviet Union) did not fall under the control of a communist nation, the US agreed to give $400 million to these countries. The goal was to help these countries recover from World War II as well as develop a political and economic alliance.
