Which statement best supports the author’s purpose in "Children of the Drug Wars,” which is to persuade readers that the United

States should do more to help immigrant children from Honduras?
“Three years ago, about 6,800 children were detained by United States immigration authorities and placed in federal custody; this year, as many as 90,000 children are expected to be picked up.”
“These children are facing threats similar to the forceful conscription of child soldiers by warlords in Sudan or during the civil war in Bosnia. Being forced to sell drugs by narcos is no different from being forced into military service.”
“Judges, who currently deny seven in 10 applications for asylum by people who are in deportation proceedings, must better understand the conditions these children are facing.”
“By deporting them directly from the refugee centers, the United States would discourage future non-refugees by showing that immigrants cannot be caught and released, and then avoid deportation by ignoring court orders to attend immigration hearings.”

The correct answer is B) "These children are facing threats similar to the forceful conscription of child soldiers by warlords in Sudan or during the civil war in Bosnia. Being forced to sell drugs by narcos is no different from being forced into military service."

The author is bringing up a somewhat similar abuse of children which has already been thoroughly documented and the targeted audience likely have prior knowledge on.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Cyrus was the founder of the Achaemenid Empire and under his government, the Empire expanded vastly and conquered most of Western and Central Asia.

Cyrus the Great created the largest empire the world had ever seen. He reigned between 559 to 530 BC and was succeeded by Cambyses II.

Darius was an emperor of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia. He came into power after overthrowing the monarch Bardiya.

His reign was met with endless rebellions which he always quelled.

He organized the empire by dividing it into provinces and put straps in charge over each province.

His reign brought about progress in Persian empire as he built road networks and introduced standard weights and measures.

He helped centralize the empire and unify it.

Would I look to Cyrus and Darius as role models as a leader of a vast empire in ancient times?

Yes, I would.

They were both great men of their time, Cyrus was a military genius and commander, Darius was great at administration by organising the empire and placing governors on each province, while making large roads for easier movement.

When does risk or reward outweigh the other? In your response, provide specific examples from your readings or experiences.
ratelena [41]

Explanation:

We could rightly conclude that risk outweigh reward when the result of taking risk results is a priceless reward. For example, someone who takes the risk of saving a life could by no means receive a reward that correspond to the human life that was saved.

However, a reward might outweigh the risk if for example, the reward preserves one from loses rather than taking a risk which doesn't matchup to the available reward.
