Answer:
Et Tu Brute stands for - <u>You too Brutus</u>?
Explanation:
It was the last sentence of King Ceaser after he was betrayed by Brutus (whom he trusted).
In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was a law that prohibited Chinese workers from immigrating to the United States for ten years. This act was designed to halt Chinese immigrants from coming to the United States. However, it also prohibited Chinese immigrants from becoming U.S. citizens.
Explanation:
In the given sentence “In 1882..” the sentence already conveys that the law was passed to bar Chinese workers from immigrating to the US for the next ten years. Thus it would be inappropriate to repeat “act was designed..”.
Hence the revised passage would look like as provided below-
During the mid-1800s, the mid-nineteenth century, many various Chinese labourers came to the U.S. to start the building of the Transcontinental Railroad. After the railroad was completed, Chinese immigrants faced increasing amounts of prejudice and discrimination. Many native-born Americans felt that the Chinese were responsible for unemployment and decreasing wages. <u>In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, a law that prohibited Chinese workers from immigrating to the United States for ten years and becoming U.S. citizens.</u> The Chinese Exclusion Act was the first national legislation to restrict free immigration to the United States.
Answer:
This seems to reveal that the original purpose of the lottery was to offer a human sacrifice to ensure a good harvest.
Explanation:
"The Lottery" is a short story by author Shirley Jackson. Every June, in a rural village, someone is picked through a lottery. Instead of winning a prize, that person is stoned to death by the other villagers.
<u>Not much is said to reveal when this custom began or why. The hint of its original purpose is given by the character Old Man Warner, a proud survivor of 76 lotteries. Old Man Warner criticizes the towns and cities that have given up on the lottery. He'd rather keep his blind faith and tradition. He is the one who says, "Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.'" This line reveals the lottery probably started as a way to provide human sacrifice to ensure a good harvest. It was so long ago that the villagers have forgotten such a purpose, keeping the lottery going simply out of habit.</u>
