Answer 1

Answer:

Q11- The speaker uses the ideas in this sentence to MOST LIKELY imply that the Baleks worked hard to earn their new title from the emperor.

Q12- In these sentences, the narrator seems to suggest that most people try to cheat others in some way, and he shows this to the reader when he says that the rich began to hire people to steal other for their own benefit and to mantain their relevance among society, then concluding that the rich became richer and richer and the poor became poorer and poorer, since they didn't get the access to the same resources the rich did.
