Answer:
In response to “A lesson from Hurricane Andrew” (Sept. 3 Viewpoints):
Leonard Pitts’s column was spot on. We went through Hurricanes Jeanne and Frances in Stuart, Florida, in 2004. We lost our roof and had no power for three weeks. In a disaster like this, you really find out who your friends are – and aren’t. People came out of the woodwork to help, some that really surprised me. Others that I thought of as friends never showed up or called. Black, white, Muslim, Christian – shouldn’t matter when people need help.

The selling of unauthorized, uncertified, unstamped alcoholic drinks is referred to as bootlegging.
During the US's time of prohibition, many similar businesses arose.
The Southern regions of the nation were home to some of the most significant sites for the manufacture of spirits. Most notable were the numerous "stills" in the Appalachian mountain ranges, where it was quite simple to remain undetected by onlookers.
The "stills" were essentially home-built distilleries where whiskey was created from the region's abundant maize. It was combined with additional substances including yeast, sugar, water, and even meat.
Fermentation could take place because the materials were heated in metal vessels and the steam produced was directed via a coil of tubing. Then it was put into "jugs, or Mason jars."
It was a very basic whiskey, occasionally poisoning those who drank it. Bootleg was a phrase used to describe people who stowed their "flasks" inside the legs of their boots. As the phrase developed, it came to be used to describe those who produced and sold whiskey illegally.
Answer:
B. Monarchy
Explanation:
A monarchy is a country that is ruled by a monarch, and monarchy is this system or form of government. A monarch, such as a king or queen, rules a kingdom or empire. In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's power is limited by a constitution. But in an absolute monarchy, the monarch has unlimited power.
Monarchy is a form of rule in which there is a single head of state, a monarch, with the title of King, Queen or similar titleholder. The head of state usually inherits the title through rules of descendency as a member of a specific royal family and holds his or her office for life.
There are lots of different examples of monarchy in the world today. Constitutional monarchies have a hereditary head of state, but are to all intents and purposes democracies.
Some examples of this are the UK, Netherlands, Spain and Sweden. Monarchs in other countries have more power, for example in Saudi Arabia.
