Answer:

1. She is referring to the working class.

2. These people have very little money to survive and are exploited with great intensity. This means that they do not have the resources to live in better conditions.

Explanation:

The text presented in the above question above is an excerpt from the book "Mary Barton" written by Elizabeth Gaskell. In this book we are introduced to the Barton family, a very poor family that belongs to the working class and is therefore a victim of exploitation by their bosses and receive very low wages that barely allow them to eat properly. In this story the Barton family lives in a very precarious situation and after the family's father is arrested, the whole family falls into disgrace, becoming even poorer and living in terrible conditions, which are the conditions shown in the above excerpt. They live that way because they don't have any resources, capable of improving their lives.

Based on context clues, which meaning of the word trace is most likely used
zzz [600]

Answer:

The meaning of the word "trace" in the sentence is:

A. (verb) 2. To study by going back over a progression step-by-step.

Explanation:

Since the word "trace" as used in the sentence is a verb, we can already eliminate options B and D. The sentence does not talk about the action of drawing something by following an outline of a shape. Instead, it talks of being able to find out information by going back, a step at a time. That is what we do when we study our ancestry. We go further and further back, finding members of our family that are more and more distant from us. Having that in mind, we can easily choose letter A as the best option:

A. (verb) 2. To study by going back over a progression step-by-step.

Discuss two of the governments anti corruption strategies that attempts to deal with corruption as a whole
Musya8 [376]

One strategy is to pay civil servants salaries that allow them to take care of themselves and their families.  Many government employees fall into corruption because they are not paid enough and sometimes have to additional sources of income just to get by.  By paying them a good wage, it discourages them from certain forms of corruption such as taking bribes since they now can take care of themselves and their families. Another is cutting red tape.  People get frustrated when it comes to applying for certain documents from government due to the long process and too much requirements just to get it.  Making the requirements simple and the process faster discourages people from asking favors from employees to hasten the process.

Why is “The Village Blacksmith” a part of americas National mythology?
OLga [1]

Answer:

The blacksmith embodies many core American values and is the backbone of a typical American community.

Explanation:

The poem "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes a blacksmith who had to juggle his time between his family and his work. But he seems to have a successful way of managing all his priorities.

The poem is an image of a blacksmith who represents "everyman", a perfect role model for the people to get inspired from. He epitomizes the image of an individual who has a managing ability to keep all his priorities in order, be it to his family, his work or even the community. This image of 'the blacksmith" came to be a representation of all the core values that embody the American society. It also represents the importance of the people who were the backbone of the American community, even during hard times.
