Answer:
This is expressing the material wealth and excess of the 1920s.
Explanation:
At the time after the war, stock markets were high and people began to experience more national wealth and extravagance, a huge difference when compared to the previous years, which encompassed WWI. This shows how things were so extravagant on the outside, but it almost foreshadows the period of depression and excessively impoverished time to come in the following years.

Answer: the answer u clicked is correct
Explanation: :)
I would say the correct answer is <span>C. The author doesn't use any facts to support such a claim, so it can't be proven. When making this kind of claim, one has to support it with facts, e.g. artists make this or that percent of their income on concerts and commercials, which clearly proves that they don't depend on the money from CDs etc. The options A and B are not correct because they rely on "everyone knows", which is not true, and is also not supported with facts. The D option isn't correct because one doesn't need to know every artist personally to be able to make a claim based on facts.</span>
In this question the options are missing; here are the options:
Which best states the author’s purpose for including this quote in the text?
A. to give the reader important facts about the number of workers striking
B. to persuade the reader that the workers were foolish and irresponsible
C. to help the reader understand the courage and determination of the workers
D. to show the reader how Pauline Newman helped the striking workers
The answer to this question is C. to help the reader understand the courage and determination of the workers.
Explanation:
In the text "We Shall Not Be Moved", the author explains an important woman's strike that occurred in 1909 and led to the formation of one female trade union organization. In this Newman emphasizes how important the strike was and how the women in it were brave and determined.
This is explained in the quote through details such as "The spirit, I think the spirit of a conqueror, led them on" that explain women felt confident and wanted to fight for a cause or in "didn't really think of the hunger, cold, loneliness" that show women would continue in the strike despite difficulties. According to this, the purpose of including this quote and details is to emphasize the courage and determination of these female workers.
Inchcape Rock is a popular poem by Robert Southey about the Inchcape Rock Legend, a reef which is situated in the North Sea, close to the coastal region of Angus in Scotland. The Inchcape Rock is known for its infamy as causation for shipwreck. This poem by Robert Southey revolves around the famous folktale of an Abbot, a monk who placed a bell on the reef to issue warning to seamen and seafarers about the impending danger during storms. According to the folktale, whenever the bell used to ring, the seafarers used to bless the Abbot’s wisdom and thank him for saving them from danger. But a sea robber named Ralph cut down the bell to earn money and treasures from the ships that fatally crashed against the rock. However, a day came when Ralph’s vessel too encounters a storm and crashes against the rock. This is when he hears death bells ringing.
This is probably more than two paragraphs, so I suggest taking what you like best out of it. I just wanted to write enough that way you would have enough for your assignment. I included the main idea and events. Have a wonderful day!
