Answer: C. It just thrills me that we have so much waste in landfills.

In this sentence, the author uses a sarcastic remark. Sarcasm refers to a sharp expression that usually shows an ambivalence similar to irony. Sarcasm is usually an ironic remark in which the speaker does not mean what he says. It is usually intended to mock or express contempt. In this case, the speaker is saying he is thrilled to have so much waste in landfills. This is likely to be false. Moreover, it is intended to criticize the problem of waste in our society.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Yes, it's correct

Explanation:

The nonsmokers have the right to tell smokers not to pollute their air, it follows that people who don’t own cars have the right to tell car owners not to drive, because the air from smokers (tobaco, etc.) can create bad impacts on others' health and if the car owners do not know how to drive and still drive their cars carelessly, it will cause the traffic accidents. So, you do not need to own any cars to have the right to tell car owners not to drive.

Do you agree with Hoover's statement that capitalism produces greed?If so,
grigory [225]

I agree with Hoover's statement that capitalism produces greed. This is because capitalism pushes the idea that the main, or only, concern of businesses should be maximizing profits. It does not pay enough attention to how these profits are obtained or whether society is damaged in the process. The only way to remedy this is through regulation that limits the range of action of businesses and corporations.

The text "The Roaring Twenties" by Mike Kubic provides evidence of this by showing how President Coolidge failed to passed legislation that would have stopped or diminished the Great Depression. An example of my own experience is how businesses often refuse to raise the salaries of employees, even when these have been working for a long time in the same place. Finally, an example of literature can be seen in <em>The Jungle</em> by Upton Sinclair, in which the author describes the abuses of factories in order to make more profit.
