Alfonso sat on the porch trying to push his crooked teeth to where he thought they belonged. He hated the way he looked. Last we

ek he did fifty sit-ups a day, thinking that he would burn those already apparent ripples on his stomach to even deeper ripples, dark ones, so when he went swimming at the canal next summer, girls in cut-offs would notice. And the guys would think he was tough, someone who could take a punch and give it back. He wanted "cuts” like those he had seen on a calendar of an Aztec warrior standing on a pyramid with a woman in his arms.
Why does Soto most likely open the story with this characterization of Alfonso?

a.to establish the idea that Alfonso cares a lot about how other people see him
b.to show that Alfonso has an unrealistic view of what makes people beautiful
c.to establish the idea that Alfonso is often in conflict with the people around him
d.to show that Alfonso has to work hard to look as good as other people do

GaryK [48]

Answer:

World War Two ended finally in the summer of nineteen forty-five. Life in the United States began to return to normal. Soldiers began to come home and find peacetime jobs. Industry stopped producing war equipment and began to produce goods that made peacetime life pleasant. The American economy was stronger than ever.

Some major changes began to take place in the American population. Many Americans were not satisfied with their old ways of life.

They wanted something better. And many people were earning enough money to look for a better life.

Millions of them moved out of cities and small towns to buy newly-built homes in the suburbs. Our program today will look at the growth of suburbs and other changes in the American population in the years after World War Two.

One problem with a bicameral legislature is that it is very easy to push through large-scale reforms. true /false
max2010maxim [7]

False because  it is tougher overall to pass legislation and makes it extremely difficult to push through large-scale reforms.

<h3>What is a bicameral legislature?</h3>

A government with a two-house legislative structure, like the House of Representatives and the Senate that make up the U.S. Congress, is known as a bicameral system. Latin's "bi" (which means two) and "camera" are the roots of the word "bicameral" (meaning chamber). The majority of parliamentary systems around the world have been modeled after the bicameral British Parliament.

A unicameral system, in which all legislators discuss and cast their votes as a single body, might be compared to a bicameral one. All American states, with the exception of Nebraska, use a bicameral system for the legislative arm of the federal government of the United States. In contrast, the unicameral system is frequently used in American cities.
