Read the following passage from "In the Shadow of War." That afternoon three soldiers came to the village. They scattered the go

ats and chickens. They went to the palm-frond bar and ordered a calabash of palm wine. They drank amidst the flies. Omovo watched them from the window as he waited for his father to go out. They both listened to the radio. His father had bought the old Grundig cheaply from a family that had to escape the city when the war broke out. He had covered the radio with a white cloth and made it look like a household fetish. They listened to the news of bombings and air raids in the interior of the country. His father combed his hair, parted it carefully, and slapped some after-shave on his unshaven face. Then he struggled into the shabby coat that he had long outgrown. Omovo stared out of the window, irritated with his father. At that hour, for the past seven days, a strange woman with a black veil over her head had been going past the house. She went up the village paths, crossed the Express road, and disappeared into the forest. Omovo waited for her to appear. According to the passage, what is the most likely reason Omovo is irritated with his father?
A) Omovo knows that his father plans to go drinking with the soldiers.
B) Omovo does not like his father to leave the house without him.
C) Omovo believes his father is secretly working with the woman in the black veil.
D) Omovo is upset because the radio does not work well when it is covered with cloth.

Answer:

The correct answer is B) Omovo does not like his father to leave the house without him.

Explanation:

This is a story written by Ben Okri called The Shadow of War and it is a story  about a young boy called Omovo, who is a witness of the Nigerian war and who has to face some morality issues. In this part of the story he is at home looking through his window some soldiers and he knows his father is going to leave without him, so he feels irritated. Although he mentions the woman with the black veil, he does not mentions his father is going to see her and he never mentions his father will drink with the soldiers. In spite the fact the radio is covered, they can listen perfectly the news. So the reason Omovo has to feel irritated is that he does not like his father to leave the house without him

koban [17]

Answer:

As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, our nation gets just one chance each decade to count its population. The U.S. census counts every resident in the United States. It is mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution and takes place every 10 years. The data collected by the census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives (a process called apportionment) and is also used to distribute billions in federal funds to local communities.

The most recent census, the 2020 Census, required counting an increasingly diverse and growing population of around 330 million people in more than 140 million housing units. To get an accurate count, the Census Bureau had to build an accurate address list of every housing unit, maximize self-response to the census, and efficiently follow up with those who did not self-respond.

In the years leading up to 2020, we conducted research in four areas that focus on the major cost drivers of the census:

Using the Internet to increase self-response.

Using existing government data sources to answer census questions and reduce follow-up workload.

Automating operations to increase productivity and reduce staff and offices.

Using existing maps and address to reflect changes rather than walking every block in every neighborhood in the country.

The decennial census is the largest mobilization and operation conducted in the United States and requires years of research, planning, and development of methods and infrastructure to ensure an accurate and complete count.
