How does the author's use of dialogue in "Veronica's Brother" contribute to the meaning?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The government is on the brink of bankruptcy. It has reduced the country to ruins and scattered it with corpses. The peasants, worn out by suffering and hunger, are incapable of paying taxes. The government gave credits to the landowners out of the people’s money. Now it is at a loss as to what to do with the landowners’ mortgaged estates. Factories and plants are at a standstill. There is unemployment and a general stagnation of trade. The government has used the capital obtained by foreign loans to build railways, warships, and fortresses and to store up arms. Foreign sources have now been exhausted, and state orders have also come to an end. The merchant, the supplier, the contractor, the factory owner, accustomed to enriching themselves at the treasury’s expense, find themselves without new profits and are closing down their offices and plants. One bankruptcy follows another. Banks are failing. All trade exchanges have been reduced to the barest minimum. The government’s struggle against revolution is causing daily unrest. No one is any longer sure what the morrow will bring.

Foreign capital is going back home. “Purely Russian” capital is also seeping away into foreign banks. The rich are selling their property and going abroad in search of safety. The birds of prey are fleeing the country and taking the people’s property with them.

For many years the government has spent all its state revenue on the army and navy. There is a shortage of schools. Roads have been neglected. In spite of this, there is not enough money even to keep the troops supplied with food. The war was lost partly because military supplies were inadequate. Mutinies of the poverty-stricken, hungry troops are flaring up all over the country.

The railways are economically sick through the government’s fault. Many millions of roubles are needed to restore the railway economy.

The government has pilfered the savings banks, and handed out deposits to support private banks and industrial enterprises, often entirely fictitious ones. It is using the small saver’s capital to play the stock exchange, where that capital is exposed to risk daily.

The gold reserves of the state bank are negligible compared with the existing claims of government loans and the demands of trade turnover. It will be reduced to nothing if gold coin is demanded for every transaction.

Taking advantage of the absence of any control of the state finances, the government has long been issuing loans which far exceed the country’s means of payment. With these new loans it is covering the interest on old ones.

Year after year the government issues false accounts of expenditure and revenue, showing both to be less than they are in reality and robbing indiscriminately to show a surplus instead of an annual deficit. Officials are free to rob the treasury which in any case is already exhausted.

Only the Constituent Assembly, after the overthrow of the autocracy, can halt this financial ruin. It will carry out a close investigation of the state finances and will draw up a detailed, clear, accurate, and certified balance sheet of state revenue and expenditure (budget).

Fear of popular control which would reveal to all the world the government’s financial insolvency is forcing it to keep putting off the convening of the people’s representative assembly.

In order to safeguard its rapacious activities the government forces the people to fight unto death. Hundreds of thousands of citizens perish and are ruined in this fight, and industry, trade, and means of communication are destroyed at their very foundations.

There is only one way out: to overthrow the government, to deprive it of its last strength. It is necessary to cut the government off from the last source of its existence: financial revenue. This is necessary not only for the country’s political and economic liberation, but also, more particularly, in order to restore the financial equilibrium of the state.

While Roberto Clemente amassed a mountain of impressive statistics during his baseball career, he was often mocked by the print media in the United States for his heavy Spanish accent. Clemente was also subjected to the double discrimination of being a foreigner and being black in a racially segregated society. Although the media tried to call him "Bob" or "Bobby" and many of his baseball cards use "Bob," Clemente explicitly rejected those nicknames, stating in no uncertain terms that his name was Roberto. There was also confusion over the correct form of his surname. For 27 years the plaque at the National Baseball Hall of Fame read "Roberto Walker Clemente," mistakenly placing his mother's maiden name before his father's surname. Only in 2000 was it changed to its proper Latin American form, Roberto Clemente Walker.

This excerpt would most likely inspire a story about

A. the campaign to correct Roberto Clemente's name in the Hall of Fame
B. the impressive baseball career of Roberto Clemente
C. the marriage of Roberto Clemente's parents
D. the nicknames earned by Roberto Clemente during his career

Answers

Mabe C but I’m not for sure

This excerpt would most likely inspire a story about the marriage of Roberto Clemente's parents. Therefore option C is the correct response.

Who is Roberto Clemente?

Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker[a], a Puerto Rican professional baseball right fielder who spent 18 seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates in Major League Baseball (MLB), was born on August 18, 1934, and died on December 31, 1972. He became the first player from the Caribbean and the first from Latin America to be honored in the National Baseball Hall of Fame after passing away too soon in 1973.

He had such a distinguished career and died at a young age that the Hall of Fame altered its criteria for membership. A player who has been deceased for at least six months is eligible for entrance as an alternative to needing to be retired for five years.

Clemente participated in 15 All-Star Games and was an All-Star for 13 seasons. [b] He won the Gold Glove Award for 12 straight seasons from 1961 through 1972, was named the National League's (NL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 1966, and led the league in batting average in 1961, 1964, 1965, and 1967. During his major league career, he had 3,000 hits and a batting average of over.300 for 13 seasons.

He won the World Series twice as well. Clemente became the first person from the Caribbean and Latin America to win the World Series in 1960 while playing in a starting position, to win the NL MVP Award in 1966, and to win the World Series MVP Award in 1970. (1971).

Write a letter as a senior prefect of ur sch pointing out two praticles among student that should be able to discourage and two habbit that should be discourage and be promoted among the teachers

Answers

Answer:

The write is in the explanation:

Explanation:

As prefect Senior Ur, I consider it necessary to eliminate bullying and discrimination among students, since these practices lead to some students entering depression and do not want to study, it is important to have a good school environment among students and promote the "culture of the acceptance".

In the same way, teachers are the role model for students, so it is important that respect and tolerance are promoted among the teachers themselves, respect could generate compassion and interest for the other, tolerance could generate acceptance and promote " a cultural diversity "where you learn to listen and think about the needs of the other.

Question:

As the Senior Prefect of your school, write a letter to the Principal pointing out two practices among students that should be discouraged and two habits that should be promoted among teachers.

Answer:

Dear Ma'am,

SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT IN THE SCHOOL

Since assuming office as the Senior Prefect, I have made certain observations that I'd like to bring to your attention.

First, I noticed that students do not respect the "Keep the Environment Clean" Policies that have been put in place by the school's management; Second, the house prefects no longer enforce the afternoon siesta and prep periods. This has led to a very unclean campus and misrepresents the reputation and character of the school's management.  Visiting parents would think that the schools' management is not concerned about the health and cleanliness of the students as well as themselves and the visitors we receive occasionally.

Preps and siestas (when observed consistently) have been shown via research to improve the overall academic performance of students. We also checked the records from the school's clinic and the academic records and saw an important correlation that is worth sharing.  In the sessions when the school enforced both siesta and prep, not only did the overall academic performance improve, the number of visits to the school's clinic also reduced due to lower clinical cases. This suggests that siesta has a  way of keeping the students healthy as their bodies receive proper rest from the day's stress.

If I may, kindly accept this as a suggestion for the school to take seriously the sanctions placed on those who commit infractions against the school's code for a cleaner and healthier space. In addition, it would do the school a lot of good to have the prep and siestas enforced again for the advancement of the school's image and the betterment of the students.

As I conclude, I'd like to commend the new developments observed by our teachers. Students have been talking about how they are in love with the new methods of knowledge transfer. We have noticed that the teachers now employ methods that cater to the learning style of all and sundry. This is a remarkable improvement.  

In addition, our teachers have started to show more care and respect to the students. It has made them more approachable and gives the students more courage to ask questions (both academic and non-academic).

On behalf of the students, we'd like to say thank you. Please carry on and don't stop.

Sincere regards,

The Senior Prefect

A. Butterfly

B.Frog

C. Dog

D. Mosquito

Answer:

C. Dog

Explanation:

The mode of reproduction of a dog is different from the other living organisms listed above because it is a mammal. Mammals carry their foetus in their womb for a specific period of time before the offspring is then delivered.

Generally, mammals experience a gestation period and it is typically between 58 to 68 days for dogs. This gestation period refers to the period between when fertilization of the egg cells occur and when the mammalian organism gives birth.

Also, unlike the insects and reptiles such as frog, butterfly, or mosquitoes, mammals breastfeed their offsprings.

Map of how many coronavirus cases have been confirmed across the country

In 1965, Congress passed a law giving certain Amish and Mennonite religious orders the right to opt out of Social Security, Medicaid and a host of other government benefits.

"The basic religious reason driving their resistance is that, as a religious faith, the church community should take care of its own members," said Kraybill. "If there's a disaster like a tornado, fire or hospital bill, the community should come together for that."

The Obamacare exemption is an extension of the Social Security exemption.

"We don't want government paying for our things," said an Amish man from Kinzers, Pennsylvania. "We want to pay our own way."

The man from Kinzers said his community relies on two funds. Nearly every family contributes monthly to a hospital aid fund, while large bills are also paid with free-will offerings.

Some Amish carry benefit cards, which identify them as members of a community but do not bear names or photographs, to help hospitals keep track of those discounts.

"It simply says they're a participant," said Eric Buck, president of Preferred Health Care, which manages the Old Order Group coverage plan for Lancaster County Amish.

One factor that helps keep medical bills down is that farm work and other manual labor keep Amish active for most of their lives, making them less susceptible to chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease that plague the often-sedentary U.S. population, said Bergen, the hospital executive.

Amish children are more susceptible to recessive genetic disorders, the result of a small and largely insular population.

For the heaviest bills, Amish communities often turn to benefit auctions, nicknamed "mud sales" because of the conditions of the fields where they are held.

On a recent Saturday auction in Gordonville, Pennsylvania, 10 miles east of Lancaster, young Amish men bid used buggies up to more than $4,000, while hand-made quilts sold for several hundred dollars each.

Most mud sales and benefit auctions benefit specific institutions. The one in Gordonville helped pay bills for the volunteer ambulance company. But a series of five held across the state each year help fund the Clinic for Special Children, a world-class pediatric genetics clinic.

Many Amish at the auction said they had relied on hospital aid to pay their medical bills
