Answer:

The first boy mentioned in the chapter is Saheb-E-Alam. He was a rag-picker who lived in Seemapuri. His family had migrated from Dhaka, Bangla Desh to India in 1971 with the hope of finding better life conditions. Every morning he roamed about streets collecting garbage. Many other boys also accompanied him. His family lived in miserable conditions. He could not afford to go to school. He did not have even a pair of slippers to wear. He wished to play lawn tennis which was beyond his reach. He also found a job at a tea-stall where he ran various errands for the tea-stall owner. Though he earned rupees eight hundred monthly along with meals every day, yet he was not happy working there.

His rag-picking bag was lighter than the

canister. He was his own master; but now

he had to work under someone

------

The second boy mentioned in the chapter is Mukesh. His family lived in Firozabad. Mukesh's family was trapped in this vicious circle. In fact every family involved in the bangle making is trapped in a vicious circle of the shahukars, the middlemen, the policemen, the keepers of law, the bureaucrats and the politicians. Their evil nexus did not let them be free. Approximately 20,000 children worked in the glass furnaces with high temperatures, in dingy cells without air and light, often losing the brightness of their eyes. Thus the bangle-makers of Firozabad lived in a state of perpetual poverty and exploitation.

17. From the details in this passage, what can you conclude about the captain and
Anna [14]

The correct answer is C. They place great importance on property ownership

Explanation:

The purpose of the captain and the company was to buy or own the island; this idea is expressed in "its mission to purchase from the natives a base from which to conduct company trade." This shows the captain and its people believed owning the island was important, as well as, using the resources and location of this for trade.

According to this, it can be concluded the captain and the company place great importance on property ownership. Moreover, this belief contrasts the ones of the natives in the excerpt because they accept that the company and the captain establish on the island but do not understand the company is now the owner of the island.

Whats outling a paragraph mean
wariber [46]

Once a topic has been chosen, ideas have been generated through brainstorming and free writing, and a working thesis has been created, the last step a writer can perform in the prewriting stage is creating an outline. An outline allows a writer to categorize the main points, to organize the paragraphs into an order that makes sense, and to make sure that each paragraph/idea can be fully developed. Essentially, an outline helps prevent a writer from getting stuck when performing the actual writing of the essay.  

An outline provides a map of where to go with the essay. A well-developed outline will show what the thesis of the essay is, what the main idea of each body paragraph is, and the evidence/support that will be offered in each paragraph to substantiate the main points.
