What is the opinion of the USA Today editorial board regarding mandatory voting? What are
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Voter turnout in U.S. elections hardly inspires pride. The nation lags far behind most modern democracies in the percentage of its citizens who go to the polls. Even in presidential elections, only about 60% of voters show up; turnout for midterm elections is far lower — just 36% last fall.

Policymakers have tried for years to come up with ways to increase those numbers — early voting, same-day registration and voting by mail — but the impact has been small. President Obama provoked controversy last month when he mused about requiring Americans to vote, as is done in Australia and several other countries. The president was responding to a question about how to offset the effect of big money in politics. "That would counteract money more than anything," the president said.

In Australia, 90% of eligible voters go to the polls despite minimal enforcement. Registered voters who fail to vote get a form letter asking why; almost any excuse will do to get someone off the hook. Those with no valid excuse face a fine of about $20, which can escalate if someone refuses to pay, though that is rare.

But the idea is a non-starter in the defiantly individualistic U.S., for good reason: A nation predicated on personal freedom rightly forces its citizens to do only a very few things — pay taxes, serve on juries, educate children, be drafted and serve in some wars, and lately, buy health insurance.

Explanation: There's a compelling reason for each of those, but not to require people to vote. Low turnout, troubling as it is, doesn't pose an existential threat in a nation that has succeeded despite it, nor would forcing disinterested voters to the polls have much value.

If there is an exception, it's in local elections, for which turnout is generally dismal despite the high impact of local government.

In about 250 words, describe how the themes in "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" interact and build on each other.
vesna_86 [32]

There are two main themes that dominate the story "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" by Richard Wright. These two themes interact and build on each other throughout the story.

The first theme is that of power. This is clear throughout the story in all the decisions Dave makes. In the story, Dave wants to own a gun. However, the gun is seen as a way to become powerful and masculine, something he has been denied. He cannot keep the money he earns, he has to obey his parents, he is not respected among his peers. This leads him to want to accomplish power in any way he can find. Moreover, he is denied this autonomy because of racial reasons.

On the other hand, the story also has a component of a coming-of-age story. Dave wants to achieve autonomy, and he wants to be able to act freely. He also wants to be more independent and more of an adult, which in turn signifies more power. This is why he gets the gun. And in this way, both themes are related and build on each other. However, Dave discovers that having more power does not equal being more of an adult.

Organisms that live in desert and desert-scrub biomes have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. The Sahara D
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: c.  small bodies and long limbs in warm-blooded organisms, light colored fur or feathers to reflect sunlight, lack of sweat glands in many organisms, hibernation during hot months

Explanation:

Any adaptation of organisms in the Sahara desert will be ones that enable the organism to survive the heat as best as possible. Any adaptation that traps or absorbs heat will most likely not be seen here.

Organisms are likely to have small bodies to reduce the area that can be affected by the sun as well as fur and feathers that reflect sunlight to reduce the impact of the extreme Sahara sun on their bodies.

A lack of sweat glands are common with desert animals to avoid extreme water loss and it will be common to see organisms hibernating in periods that are especially hot so as not to be adversely affected by the heat.

Answer: In fiction or non-fiction, a foil could be a character who contrasts with another character; most of the time it is the hero, to highlight qualities of the other character. In a few cases, a subplot can be utilized as a foil to the main plot.
