My cell phone rings again. It is futile to ignore it; Valerie is persistent. When she wants something, she will continue to hara

ss me until I give in.
"Hello," I answer.

"State Fair, Bobbie?" she asks in her singsong voice. "When are we heading out? Only two more days left!"

I abhor the State Fair. The boisterous crowds, the insanely long lines, and the impossibility of finding a clean restroom all combine to make this an event that I utterly detest.

For Valerie, my best friend since middle school, the State Fair is a sign that divine powers really do exist.

"Really, Bobbie, where else can you pet a cow, ride a horse, fall ten stories, see the world’s smallest person and eat fried macaroni and cheese?" Valerie asks gleefully.

"Hades?" I guess.

The fried food at the State Fair is a gastronomical nightmare on its own. I once tried a fried pickle at the fair and was sick to my stomach for hours. And a fried donut hamburger with bacon, cheese, AND a greasy egg? How could that not be deleterious? Consuming a single serving of fair food has the potential to take years off your life. And I think about this. But then my better nature takes hold, and an image of Valerie's face on the other end of the line comes into view. I haven't seen her for a good month; our schedules are both so hectic. By and by, my hatred of the State Fair becomes inconsequential compared to my desire to spend time with Val. Besides, I don't have to eat the disgusting fair food. I can simply admire it from a safe distance.

Alas, I ignore my anti-fair bias for the umpteenth year. "Pick me up at noon," I say and hang up the phone.
According to the passage, Bobbie finally agrees to go to the fair because

A. Valerie convinces her using a tempting description
B. Valerie coerces her using peer pressure
C. she recognizes that she does not have to eat fair food
D. she wants to spend time with Valerie

what are three actions that kashyap argues brands should take to improve conditions for their workers​
sveta [45]

This question is about the article "When Clothing Labels Are a Matter of Life or Death".

Answer:

Promote visibility, extinguish subcontracting, pressure from investors.

Explanation:

In the article Kashyap shows how the clothing and footwear manufacturing industries have been one of the biggest centers of disrespect for human rights, causing workers to work exhaustively, earning few wages and being subjected to inhospitable environments and with little security.

For Kashyap, there are three processes that can prevent this from happening and can improve the lives of these workers. These processes are the transparency of the companies that consume the products of these industries, showing how the entire production process is, the extinction of subcontracting, which subjects workers to inhuman conditions of employment and pressure from investors who can charge for better working conditions.
