Answer:
B.) Reduced.
Explanation:
The Reagan administration is sometimes thought to have reversed the growth of the welfare state by eliminating or shrinking welfare programs at all levels of government and by removing new re-distributional initiatives from the national agenda. This assault on the welfare state was motivated at least in part by philosophical considerations. Leaving aside questions of cost and efficacy, the new administration aimed to confine welfare payments to the “deserving poor” (the aged, children, the permanently disabled, and others who could not be expected to enter the work force) in order to reduce the distorting effects of welfare both in labor markets and on the moral character of recipients. In practice, the administration sought to reduce payments to those with relatively high incomes by tightening eligibility standards and by reducing benefit levels on various programs (Palmer and Sawhill 1982).
From the excerpt, I conclude that the Maya forefathers believed it was the fate of animals to be hunted and eaten. The key segment of this text is "Accept your destiny. Your flesh shall be torn to pieces." The forefathers mention they have changed their mind because animals were not able to adore or obey them.
Because animals cannot adore their creators, "there shall be those" who will be able to do all of this. These "others" are the humans, who will hunt and eat animals. Animals will then have to accept their destiny and "be changed," being sent to the ravines and the woods.
I think that the most reasonable conclusion is answer D.
<span>Malleability: crushing a can doesn't break it, it just bends and distorts the shape.
Conductivity: electrical current will go straight through it, and heat will transfer quickly from one part to another.
Lightness: Aluminium is light enough anyway, but for the volume it carries, there is virtually no weight at all.
