The planet Mars, I scarcely need remind the reader, revolves about the sun at a mean distance of 140,000,000 miles, and the ligh

t and heat it receives from the sun is barely half of that received by this world. It must be, if the nebular hypothesis has any truth, older than our world; and long before this earth ceased to be molten, life upon its surface must have begun its course. The fact that it is scarcely one seventh of the volume of the earth must have accelerated its cooling to the temperature at which life could begin.
H. G. Wells, The War of the Worlds, 1898
Why does Wells include this type of passage?
A. To teach the reader important scientific facts that will help the reader understand the story
B. To show the reader the Martians' point of view, which allows the reader to feel sorry for the aliens
C. To confuse the reader so that the reader can understand the chaos that the characters are experiencing

1. The governments and economies of foreign nations greatly influenced the United States of America because the products produced by foreign nations compete with the American products in the market. This competition causes negative effects on the economy of United States when more products of foreign countries are sold as compared to American products due to lower prices of foreign nations products.

2. Big challenges are created by nontraditional economies, natural disasters, and emerging democracies on the United States government because these factors lowers the production and sale of American products in the market that affected the economy.

Is Liesel a "thief"? Cite evidence from the novel to justify your answer.
pochemuha

Answer:

Liesel is referred to as a thief in the novel's first few chapters. In "The Book Thief," she is referred to as Liesel the Thief by everyone. Despite her inability to read, she claims that she stole the first book in order to keep a memento of her brother's funeral with her. You have committed theft, in my opinion, when you wrongfully take something that is not yours.

Explanation:

TEXTUAL EVIDENCE CITED meaning:

Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text explicitly says as well as inferences drawn from the text.
