I would say that the answer is B) that literature can express themes such as religion, justice and the passage of time. For example, Mark Twain wrote about the life of people along the Mississippi at a particular time and in a small way dealt with justice ie of the justice of the actions of his characters in their daily activities.

<span>B. Literature can express themes such as religion, justice, and the passage of time.</span>

<span>
In 19th century American literature, an example of a novel that expressed themes regarding its times and issues like religion and justice would be: <em>Uncle Tom's Cabin</em>, by Harriet Beecher Stowe, which spoke out against slavery. (This book was the second-best selling book of the century; only the Bible itself sold more copies.)  Another example of a 19th century American novel addressing issues of religion and justice would be <em>The Scarlet Letter </em>by Nathaniel Hawthorne, a work which explored themes of legalism in religion as well as questions concerning sin and guilt.</span>

How did Roosevelt work to restore the banking system during the first hundred days
borishaifa [10]

Once in office, FDR set to work immediately. His "New Deal," it turned out, involved regulation and reform of the banking system, massive government spending to "prime the pump" by restarting the economy and putting people back to work, and the creation of a social services network to support those who had fallen on hard times.

Between 8 March and 16 June, in what later became known as the "First Hundred Days," Congress followed Roosevelt's lead by passing an incredible fifteen separate bills which, together, formed the basis of the New Deal. Several of the programs created during those three and a half months are still around in the federal government today. Some of Roosevelt's most notable actions during the Hundred Days were:

<span><span>A national bank holiday: The day after his inauguration, FDR declared a "bank holiday," closing all banks in the country to prevent a collapse of the banking system. With the banks closed, Roosevelt took measures to restore the public's confidence in the financial systems; when the banks reopened a week later, the panic was over.22</span><span>Ending the gold standard: To avoid deflation, FDR quickly suspended the gold standard.23 This meant that U.S. dollars no longer had to be backed up by gold reserves, which also meant that the government could print—and spend—more money to "prime the pump" of the economy.</span><span>Glass-Steagall Act: The Glass-Steagall Act imposed regulations on the banking industry that guided it for over fifty years, until it was repealed in 1999.24 The law separated commercial from investment banking, forced banks to get out of the business of financial investment, banned the use of bank deposits in speculation.25 It also created the FDIC[link to "FDIC" passage below]. The effect of the law was to give greater stability to the banking system.</span><span>FDIC: The Federal Deposit Insurance Commission backed all bank deposits up to $2500, meaning that most bank customers no longer had to worry that a bank failure would wipe out their life savings.26The agency continues to insure American deposits today.</span></span>
