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.

Why is ecology important? What is its impact in today's world?
Virty [35]
Ecology gives all species including us; food, water, shelter, and so on.The smallest difference can set everything off balance. A good example would be global warming. You would think that 2 degrees every decade would be a small change, but nothing in ecology is small. Plants need a certain temperature to thrive, if that temperature changes they die. A certain animal may be dependent on that plant for food and when that plant dies so does that animal. Another animal may also be dependent on that other animal for food, and with that animal gone it will also die. It's a viscous cycle that holds lots of power on us humans.
