Answer:

B. It didn't need to be inhaled to be effective

Explanation:

    Ingestion of the gas irritates mucous membranes, causing burning, large blisters and internal burns. If the amount of gas is large, it affects the entire digestive system. Symptoms appear after 24 hours. By mixing with fat, the agent is easily absorbed by the body, and is still able to pass through clothes.

    In contact with the eyes, mustard causes conjunctivitis. Within 24 hours, the eyelids swell and the victim has blindness. The pupil can be very small, permanently. With treatment in less than 12 hours, eye contamination does not kill, but leaves sequelae, such as blindness and other damage that may force eye removal.

    Inhaled mustard gas causes bleeding and blisters in the respiratory system. Victims usually die from pulmonary edema - excess fluid in the lung. Even at high concentrations, the gas is not perceived by the victim for several hours. In the case of lung contamination, this “discretion” is fatal.

    If exposure is only to the skin, the gas is fatal when it affects more than 50% of the victim's body. Death is slow, extremely painful and can take weeks. If the person survives, the treatment is long and debilitating. Even so, the chances of having skin cancer in the future increase exponentially.

const2013 [10]

Answer: D. The Grapes of Wrath

Explanation: The Grapes of Wrath was written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939. It is a story about a family in the dustbowl and their struggle in the great depression. It cqptures the great anger and helplessness of the people as well as the heartlessness and nonchalance of the powerful elite.

Steinbeck masterfully depicted the struggle to retain dignity and to preserve the family in the face of disaster, adversity, and vast, impersonal commercial influences. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1940 for this novel.

He clearly stated his purpose for writing the novel as wanting to put a tag of shame on the greedy people who are responsible for this, that is the Depression and the plight of the worker.
