Answer:
The controversy was the White men's attempts to take over the land of the Nez Perce people. This encroachment of the native Indians' lands by the white settlers led to the war between the Indians and the American government.
Explanation:
The United States' government's forcible removal of the Nez Perce people from their original land in the Oregon Territory to a reservation in Idaho led to a strong resistance from the Indians. Under the leadership of Chief Joseph, they resisted the white settlers' attempts, fighting tooth and nail for their homeland. But they could't last long against the more dominating and advanced army. They surrendered in 1877, after Chief Joseph gave an impassioned speech about getting tired and the mass loss of his people. This speech "<em>I Will Fight No More Forever</em>" shows the chief's refusal to inflict more pain and suffering to his people, thus ending the war with their surrender. He would rather just surrender if it meant he'll save some lives and not inflict more pain on his people.
Industrial expansion and population growth radically changed the face of the nation's cities. Noise, traffic jams, slums, air pollution, and sanitation and health problems became commonplace. Mass transit, in the form of trolleys, cable cars, and subways, was built, and skyscrapers began to dominate city skylines.
Answer: It should be B foil
Explanation: In fiction, a foil is a character who contrasts with another character, usually the protagonist, to highlight qualities of the other character. In some cases, a subplot can be used as a foil to the main plot. This is especially true in the case of metafiction and the "story within a story" motif.
This question is missing the previous part of the excerpt and the answer options. I have found the complete question online. The part that you already posted will be omitted, replaced with . . .
Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner's "Freakonomics":
In the real world, Feldman learned to settle for less than 95 percent. He came to consider a company as "honest" if its payment rate was above 90 percent. He considered a rate between 80 and 90 percent "annoying but tolerable." If a company habitually paid below 80 percent, Feldman might post a hectoring note, like this one:
. . .
A. a claim
B. an example
C. a conclusion
D. a counterclaim
Answer:
The excerpt serves a:
B. an example
Explanation:
The excerpt in the question serves as an example for the passage posted above.
Feldman is a man who leaves baskets with bagels at companies for people to take them and pay for them. He does not stay at the company, however, to make sure people will pay. He would rather trust their honesty. But, if people begin to take the bagels without paying to the point where Feldman only makes between 80 to 90 percent of the money he should make, he leaves them a note.
When the authors talk about Feldman's note, the phrase "like this one" shows that the excerpt is an example of a type of note Feldman might use to increase payment by appealing to people's honesty.
