Answer:

D). To indicate that Twain needed money in order to eat .

Explanation:

Idioms are the most commonly employed figurative device to propose a sharp and rich language that conveys a meaning distinct from the literal meaning of the words presented. Such a device assists to present a more elaborate and spicier description offering an indirect meaning.

As per the question, the given idiom 'I..........book' functions to indicate that 'Twain required money to eat'. Twain was a realist who aimed to portray the real-life subjects with a touch of subtle elements. In this excerpt from his "I Sell a Dog", he intends to hint that he needed money for 'bread and butter'(eat). Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

What does full employment mean for Americans in the 1950s?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Full employment is a situation in which everyone who wants a job can have work hours they need on fair wages. Because people switch jobs, full employment involves a positive stable rate of unemployment. An economy with full employment might still have underemployment where part-time workers cannot find jobs appropriate to their skill level. In macroeconomics, full employment is sometimes defined as the level of employment at which there is no cyclical or deficient-demand unemployment.

What is the significance of allowing formerly enslaved person to join the military?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

"Lincoln's dilemma

With no hope of bringing the South back into the United States by protecting slavery, Lincoln had a new dilemma. His own political party, the Republicans, had formed around their opposition to slavery. Many of the more radical politicians in the party saw the secession of the South as the best opportunity to abolish slavery once and for all. As the US war dead piled up, more and more Northerners began to push Lincoln to punish the states that had seceded by making abolition a major goal of the war.

The problem with abolishing slavery, however, was that there were still four slave states that had not seceded from the United States: Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware. Lincoln feared that if he advocated emancipation he would provoke those states into joining the Confederacy, making the war even more difficult to win. Of the border states, Maryland was particularly worrisome, because the US capital at Washington D.C. sat on its border with Virginia. If Maryland decided to join the Confederacy, Washington D.C. would be completely surrounded by enemy territory."
