Answer:
The National Geographic Society uses revenue from the magazine to fund expeditions and give grants to scientists for further research.
The fascinators had the commands of working, playing and sleeping for eight hours a day printed under each of them. The idea was to systematize their lives and deprived them from the priviledge of thinking. There was a third of the day which had to be dedicated to the most basic activities in life.
There are two main themes that dominate the story "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" by Richard Wright. These two themes interact and build on each other throughout the story.
The first theme is that of power. This is clear throughout the story in all the decisions Dave makes. In the story, Dave wants to own a gun. However, the gun is seen as a way to become powerful and masculine, something he has been denied. He cannot keep the money he earns, he has to obey his parents, he is not respected among his peers. This leads him to want to accomplish power in any way he can find. Moreover, he is denied this autonomy because of racial reasons.
On the other hand, the story also has a component of a coming-of-age story. Dave wants to achieve autonomy, and he wants to be able to act freely. He also wants to be more independent and more of an adult, which in turn signifies more power. This is why he gets the gun. And in this way, both themes are related and build on each other. However, Dave discovers that having more power does not equal being more of an adult.
I think that what you are asking is which word is a subject complement in that sentence. What I think the answer to this question is the word third.
