An example of how Wilde pokes fun at the upper-class lifestyle is "Algernon says it is hard work to live in this leisurely manner".
In <em>The Importance of Being Earnest</em>,<u> Jack and Algernon are described as wealthy gentlemen</u>. Moreover, they come from important families. In this excerpt, <u>Wilde uses Algernon and his belief that doing nothing is hard work to satirize the upper-class; however, Wilde does not seek to make fun of mere individuals but to make fun of this society as a whole</u>. The author's aim throughout the play is to amuse and to make fun of the Victorian upper class.
The answer is "She was sick of segregation"
In Montgomery, the capital of Alabama, the first rows of buses were, by law, reserved for white passengers. Behind them were the seats where the blacks could sit. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks took one of these buses on her way home from work and sat down at one of the places in the middle of the bus. When the driver-white-demanded that she and three other blacks rise to give way to whites who had entered the bus, Parks refused to comply with the order. She remained seated and was therefore arrested and taken to prison.
Rosa Parks' silent protest against segregation spread rapidly. The Women's Political Council organized a boycott of urban buses as a protest against racial discrimination in the country. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of those who supported the action. Activist and musician Harry Belafonte recalls how his life changed after the day King telephoned him to call for support for the action of the woman who became known as the "mother of civil rights movements" in the United States.

Answer:
D. Jesse Owens didn’t allow the racial discrimination he faced at home or abroad to keep him from doing what he loved and succeeding at it.
Explanation:
In the informational essay <em>Jesse Owens </em>by Shelby Ostergaard, the whole essay details how persistent James Cleveland Owens was in his desire to achieve his dream. He did not let the racial discrimination and prejudice deter him from doing what he loves, despite what others may say or treat him.
The main idea of the whole essay seems to be that he did not allow the racial discrimination he faced at home and even at the college or even the treatment he met after winning the Olympics deter his aim. Hitler refused to shake his hand after his win, the racial discrimination back at home did not change even after winning a medal for his country, the country that seems to love him yet not care about him at all. But despite all these, he did not stop doing what he loved, running towards his goals, and which, in his own words, is one thing <em>"you could do by yourself and under your own power"</em>.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
A position paper is an essay that presents an opinion about an issue (typically that of the author or another specified entity). Position papers are published in academia, in politics, in law and other domains.
