Answer:

The image of a worried but resilient mother was so powerful that it prompted the government to send 20,000 pounds of food to relieve starvation in a migrant worker camp. It may have also helped inspire John Steinbeck's literary classic The Grapes of Wrath.

Explanation:

From the moment it first appeared in the pages of a San Francisco newspaper in March 1936, the image known as “Migrant Mother” came to symbolize the hunger, poverty and hopelessness endured by so many Americans during the Great Depression.

In 1936 Florence Thompson allowed Dorothea Lange to photograph her family because she thought it might help the plight of the working poor. One of them, Migrant Mother, became the iconic photo of the Depression, and one of the most familiar images of the 20th century.

The Ziggurat at Ur can best be described as a ____.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

<h2>A. Temple platform.</h2>

Explanation:

Ziggurat at Ur was multilevel place of worship, it had steps all around it. Such buildings were located at the centre of Mesopotamian cities after 200 BC. They were extraordinary structures made of sun-dried mud bricks.

Although they looked sturdy but the sun baked bricks made them delicate, they had to be rebuilt after every hundred years. The rains softened the bricks and the lower section often gave way due to soft bricks.

Their design was such that they could easily drain water. It also had layers of bitumen, grass-like plants. A waterproof tar was also laid between the mud bricks to protect it from water.
