Answer:

Though Saddam Hussein did not use weapons of mass destruction nor set fire to Iraq's oil fields nor attack Israel with rockets, and though the conflict was relatively short, the war has had many serious results ranging from death and destruction in Iraq to regional instability to a weakened world economy.

Explanation:

The war added more than $1 trillion to the U.S. debt, which included increases to the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Veterans Administration (VA) base budgets. The DoD base budget grew by $193 billion during the Iraq War; and the VA budget expanded by $47.7 billion.

Iraq War profiteers

One of the top profiteers from the Iraq War was oil field services corporation, Halliburton. Halliburton gained $39.5 billion in "federal contracts related to the Iraq war". Many individuals have asserted that there were profit motives for the Bush-Cheney administration to invade Iraq in 2003.

What effect does the presidents use of repetition in this passage have on the audience?
Eva8 [605]
I’m what work? You should be more specific.

Can someone please answer this for me... Which inference can a reader make based on the information in the excerpt? A.) Mr. H. K
kykrilka [37]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.

Mr. H. quickly began talking to his contacts in the city.  Soon he heard of a British printer in Mexico City who had  been falsely arrested for printing counterfeit money. Mr.  H. Intervened with the British minister, who got the  frightened printer released from custody and the charges  against him dropped. The printer, overjoyed to be free,  told Mr. H. that he would welcome the opportunity to  repay the agent for his intervention. As a matter of fact,  Mr. H. told him, there was a favor the printer could do for  him

 Which inference can a reader make based on the  information in the excerpt?

A. Mr. H. knew the printer would help them upon release  from prison  B. Mr. H. was very concerned for the falsely imprisoned  printer.  C. Mr. H. and the printer had known each other for a long  time.  D. Mr. H. originally had not intended to employ the  printer's help.

Answer:

A.) Mr. H. Knew the printer would help them upon release in the prison.

Explanation:

In the text above, we can see that Mr. H. needed the services of a printer and when he heard of one who was imprisoned, unfairly, he went to great lengths to free the printer. He did this with second intentions, because if the printer was falsely accused and someone released him, the printer would be very grateful and would not refuse to help that someone out of gratitude.

In other words, we can say that this excerpt shows us that Mr. H. knew that the printer would help them after their release in prison.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The statement that best describes the change in Neto since the beginning of the story is that <u>Neto realizes that quitting the football team is not an effective way of taking a stand against racism.</u>

Explanation:

From the excerpt of "It's Our World, Too!: Young People Who Are Making a Difference.", a number of football players decided to quit the football team by handing over their football uniforms and pads and telling their coach they were leaving because of the racial abuse they faced but the coach tried to let them know that if they quit football, it would only make matters worse because the fans would call them losers and quitters and the racists would have won.
