Answer:
It is important to have people of color and women in places of power in not just our country, but any country. People of color provide us with information about other cultures and can give ideas to people in power the natives could not come up with themselves. Having more females in power would also benefit society greatly. A female brain works differently than a male's. Government in America is roughly 75% male. If more females were added, the country would have better problem solving skills, and female voices would be heard. Back to people of color, these people will represent the diversity of the country and how racially equivalent this country has the power to be.

Answer:
A. The connotation of the word careless suggests that Marta doesn't pay attention to her things.
Explanation:
Careless, as used in the passage, shows that she was not being careful with her glasses thus she ended up breaking them. Since the passage said that she usually broke them within a week, we can infer she isn't careful with any pair of her designer glasses she has bought. Therefore, it cannot be B because she does NOT really care about her things, and C is off-topic because it never says that she prefers designer sunglasses, only that that is what she always bought.
