Read the excerpt from The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cl

eaning his little home.

Answer: B, the negative connotations of the words “dust,” “aching,” and “weary” give the excerpt a tone of tiredness.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, we learn that the mole has been working hard, and that he worked all morning. Spring-cleaning usually implies a deep cleaning, like replacing the carpet or cleaning your oven. However, when someone typically does some spring-cleaning, they end up tired. We can prove this by using the words “aching” and “weary,” as they describe being tired.

Why did the Articles of Confederation fail to create an effective, long-term government?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Because of several reasons explained below.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation unified the 13 Colonies that fought the American Revolution War. John Dickinson wrote the draft used as the basis of these Articles. The 13 states ratified them and they went into effect in March, 1781.

Among the main weaknesses, we can list some:

Congress did not have the power to tax, so the incomes were little to none.

Court system did not exist.

To approve a law, a majority of 9 out of 13 people was required, making it more difficult.

An unanimous vote was required for Amendments.

Even though every state had its own army, it was difficult for the nation to put together a national army.

Due to this reasons, the Articles failed to create a long-term government.

And American writer an activist her book the feminine mystique help create new interest in working for equality for women
bezimeni [28]

Answer:  BETTY FRIEDAN

Details:

Betty Friedan was an early leader of the feminist movement in the United States.  Her important book, <em>The Feminine Mystique,</em> published in 1963, argued that women in America were being misled into an unfulfilling and unhappy way of life.  They were made to believe that fulfillment and happiness as a woman came from being a wife, mother, homemaker.  But Friedan's studies of women showed that women were not happy just from that, that they were hungering for something else.  Their whole identity was coming from their roles or relationships to others in the home, not from who they actually were themselves.

Friedan's book challenged the existing patterns that existed in American society and pushed for women to have more of their own value for their own sake.  As she said (in chapter one):  "We can no longer ignore the voice within women that says, 'I want something more than my husband and my children and my home.'"
