Answer:
B Any good that Trujillo did for the Dominican Republic was far outweighed by the corruption and terror he oversaw as the country’s president.
D The Mirabal sisters are feminist icons that should be celebrated for their willingness to sacrifice their lives.
Explanation:
I believe the question is related to the article entitled "Trujillo & the Mirabal Sisters."
Rafael Trujillo Molina was a ruler of<em> Dominican Republic</em> from <u>1930 to 1961</u>. Although he accomplish many things as a leader such as<em> building public roads</em> and<em> reducing the nation's debt,</em> <u>his corruption and terror outweighed this. </u>He was known for enjoying savagery and became responsible for the "Parsley Massacre," which killed many Haitians.
On the other hand, the Mirabal sisters were <em>feminists icons</em> who did not fear Trujillo's tyranny. The sisters consisted of<em> Patria, Maria Teresa</em> and <em>Minerva Mirabal</em>. The code name that they used was <u>"Las Mariposas."</u> They showed their opposition to Trujillo's dictatorship by forming a movement that would overthrow Trujillo. This showed that they were willing to sacrifice their lives despite the risk involved in such a police state.
So, this explains the answers.
Answer:
<em> </em><em>The conflict between Nora and Helmer shows how gender roles were defined, as Helmer has complete control over everything, including what the couple discusses.</em>
Explanation:
<em>Doll`s House</em> written by Henrik Ibsen gives us exact social picture of that age. Nora and Torvald Helmer are married. He has a high position in society and he is the leading man of the house. Nora`s role is to be sweet, pretty wife with whom he can show off to the society. Their roles are predestined with expectations of society, if they want to be accepted, they have to play them. Helmer calls Nora with names like <em>squirrel</em> or <em>little bird</em>, in one moment he even marks her as his pet who spends a lot of money. He decides what she will eat or dress or even talk. We can say that Nora even uses her inferior position to get some power. She acts like a damsel in distress so to challenge him to help her in some meaningless activities in which he will feel like a man in charge, but for the biggest part of the play, she was not aware that using her subordinate position for some little and short term pleasures leaves her in that same position which is just being someone`s mannequin.
Answer:
Based on the guidelines in the text, the best strategy for Opal is:
c) speaking to students who were recently accepted into the college Opal would like to attend.
Explanation:
Remember we are taking into consideration the notion that "one should not waste time compiling information if someone else has already done it." If Opal wants to research strategies to get accepted into her college of choice, the best thing she can do is talk to people who have already accomplished that same goal. Those people already know what to do, what strategy works for that specific college. By talking to them, Opal can adapt her own strategy to better suit that college.
