The highest rate of U.S. unemployment was 24.9 percent in 1933. From 1931 to 1940 it kept above the 14 percent. Remember that the unemployment rate by year refers to the percent of unemployed in the labour force. That means that 24.9 percent of the people trying to find a job, were unable to get one. This number shows the collapse that occurred in the labour market in just a few years. The recovery came with World War II which created the industrial demand needed for the economic prosperity.

From the story: "Freshee's Frogurt" by Daniel H. Wilson: Based on the context, what does "tele-robbery" mean?

Vesna [10]

Answer and explanation:

This is the context in which the word "telerobbery" appears in the story:

Nothing changes on its face or anything, but I get a pretty bad feeling right then. I mean, an even worse feeling. And, sure enough, I hear the servos in the thing’s arm start to grind. Now it turns and swings me to the left, smashing the side of my head into the door of the pie fridge hard enough to crack the glass. The whole right side of my head feels cold and then warm. Then the side of my face and neck and arm all start to feel really warm, too. Blood’s shooting out of me like a [...] fire hydrant.

Jesus, I’m crying. And that’s when… uh. That’s when Felipe shows up.

Do you give the domestic robot money from the register?

What? It doesn’t ask for money. It never asked for money. It doesn’t say a word. What went down wasn’t a telerobbery, man. I don’t even know if it was being remote controlled, Officer …

What do you think it wants?

It wants to kill me. That’s all.

From this passage, we can understand a man has been attacked by his robot. The officer who is asking the questions to understand the reasons for the attack asks if the robot wanted money. The man then answers that what took place was not a telerobbery, that he doesn't even know if the robot was being remote controlled. From those clues, we can safely assume telerobbery is a robbery performed by a robot that is being controlled by someone or something that is not present.

Yanka [14]

The correct answer is A) He set his daughter and her child adrift at sea in a sealed chest.

What Acrisius did to try to keep the prophecy of his death from being fulfilled was that he set his daughter and her child adrift at sea in a sealed chest.

We are referring to Greek mythology. After consulting the Oracle of Delphi, Acricus was told that one day he will be killed by the son of his daughter Danae. That is why he decided to imprison his daughter in a chamber, but God Zeus impregnates her. The baby was named Perseus. Angered by the situation, Acrius decided to put Danae and the baby in a chest and he threw into the sea. Zeus and Poseidon intervene and save the mother and the child.
