Answer:
Elizabeth Van Lew was a successful spy because society did not expect a lady to serve in that role.
Explanation:
According to a different source, this is the paragraph the question refers to:
<em>It may seem surprising that no Confederate sympathizers took action against Van Lew, given her strong and public views on secession and slavery. Surely there were suspicions, especially among her upper-crust neighbors, but the matter never went beyond those suspicions. Historians have suggested that the secessionists were victims of their own cultural bias, believing that no aristocratic person, and certainly not a lady, would ever consider taking part in anything as impolite as spying. A true lady managed her servants, prepared parties and gatherings, and blindly supported her husband. Such attitudes worked in Van Lew's favor, diverting suspicion from her.</em>
In this paragraph, we learn of the way in which people tended to think about ladies, and in particular, aristocratic ladies. We learn that most people did not believe that polite ladies of society would be capable of becoming involved in something like spying. This appeared to be a contradiction that was unimaginable. Because of this, no one suspected Elizabeth Van Lew, allowing her to do a better job as a spy.

Only five points but fun.
Explanation:
Ms. Scorcher is a raging lunatic. She always knows what you're thinking, and she's always in your head.
I know this because I am her.
I am a lunatic because that is what my students think of me. Though i could change what they think in an instant, I decide to leave them with their own thoughts. It would be cruel to take their ability to have their own thoughts. Though my students are disrespectful to me in their heads, I can gratefully say that they are very polite and well mannered externally.
It's hard being able to read thoughts because I cant control what I hear. So every time a student goes for an incorrect answer, i am helpless because I cannot give it to them. All I can do is better explain what they do not understand. I cannot control my anger when I get angry, so I assume that's why they call me a raging lunatic.
I think I'm an honest fair teacher. don't you?
The tone of the excerpt is A. angry, because it uses words like “preventable”, “criminally irresponsible”, “simplest”, etc. showing anger towards a situation that could have been avoided.
They and them, as it's used for a gender neutral group of people.
Answer:
Arn manages to be invisible by avoiding interaction as much as he can, and by doing things the Khmer Rouge would like. For instance, when in line for the Khmer Rouge to check people’s skin color, Arn rubs dirt on his face so he will look darker like one of them. That kept him a bit more invisible and alive for another day. He also uses this trick to make sure people who know him do not interact with him. A personal discussion could also lead to your death.
