Explanation:
The whole dialogue in the passage is told using reported speech. In other words,<u> it is the narrator who tells us what the characters said, rather than the characters themselves</u>. When using the reported speech, the verb tense often changes into the past. Take a look at the example below:
- Direct speech: Lana said, "I <u>want</u> to be a lawyer."
- Reported speech: Lana said that she wanted to be lawyer.
For that reason, when completing the passage above, it is better if we choose options that use the past instead of the present. We must also pay attention to coherence. If an option mixes both present and past, it is most likely incorrect. Having that in mind, the best way to complete the passage is by using the following:
when he grew up, he wanted
that he would have to study hard
father would have to work hard
Answer:
The statement which is the best argument against Social Darwinism is:
B. A good work ethic can eliminate a lot of the disadvantages of poverty.
Explanation:
Social Darwinism is a philosophy that incorporates notions taken from Darwinism, applying them to sciences such as sociology and economics. As we know, <u>Darwinism is based on the idea of "survival of the fittest". Therefore, Social Darwinism explains differences in status, wealth, and success by stating that those who have those things are better than those who do not. In other words, if someone is poor or unsuccessful, that means that person is not "evolved" enough.</u>
The problem with Social Darwinism is that is justifies discrimination and imperialism. It places the blame on those who are actually suffering the consequences of a broken and unfair system. With that in mind, we can easily eliminate options A and C, since they agree with Social Darwinism. Option D can also be eliminated because it merely states a fact that is true, but does not refute Social Darwinism.<u> Letter B is the best option. It argues that there is a way to eliminate many of the disadvantages, that is, it shows the problem with the system, refuting Social Darwinism.</u>

According to the Constitution, the SCOTUS has both appellate and original jurisdiction. Original jurisdiction means cases that are heard for the first time in the Supreme Court. These are usually high ranking cases that involve disputes between states or between high ranking officials.
Appellate cases make up the majority of cases heard by the SCOTUS. These are cases that have been heard before by lowers courts throughout the country. Unsatisfied parties with a lower court judgment submit a petition to the SCOTUS, called Writ of Certiorari. The SCOTUS then has all the files from the lower court case sent to it for examination. Four of the nine Justices must accept to hear a case for it to be heard by the SCOTUS. If the Justices accept the case, it is placed on the docket of cases to hear. The petitioner is granted a certain amount of time to write his brief on the case (no more than 50 pages). The opposite party, called the respondent, also has some time to submit its 50 pages brief.
After this initial process, both parties respond to each other’s brief with a shorter brief. The SCOTUS may also grant permissions to groups that are not directly involved in the legal dispute to provide their own file with recommendations and arguments in favor of the side they support. Such brief is called amicus curiae (friend of the Court, in Latin). The SCOTUS hears the oral arguments for both parties sometime between October and April. These proceedings are open to the public and usually start at 10am. Each hearing lasts an hour and each party has 30 minutes to present its argument. The hearing is interrogative (Justices ask questions to each party about their position). Petitioners speak first and respondents follow suit. If petitioners have saved time for a rebuttal, they will be the last to speak.
The Justices meet twice every week to review the cases and vote on a decision. This meeting is called the Justices’ Conference. After the result of the vote is available, any dissenting Justices may write a dissenting opinion on the final decision. If they vote ends up in a tie (because one of the Justices is unavailable), the lower court’s decision stands. In very rare occasions, a majority opinion may be changed if a Justice reverses his/her vote. It is only when opinions are disclosed in public open court hearings that they are official and final.
