Answer:

Smell.

Explanation:

Amy Tan's <em>Two Kinds</em> tells the story of Jing-mei and her life, brought up to be a prodigy of any talent. But the conflict arise from her own want to assert and understand her identity, trying to fit into the American culture while her mother's trying to make her become a <em>"prodigy"</em>.

Old Lady Chong is the mother of Old Chong or Mr. Chong, the piano teacher from the first floor of the apartment building that Jing-mei and her family lives. And she is mentioned just once in the story when Jing-mei went to the piano lesson. She reveals she <em>"met Old Lady Chong once, and that was enough. She had a peculiar smell, like a baby that had done  something in its pants"</em>. Thus, the author uses the sense of smell in describing the old lady's age.

Answer:

<h3>Susan B. Anthony was a crusader for equal rights.</h3>

Susan B. Anthony was an American activist for women's emancipation and political rights.

Anthony grew up in a quaker family and initially worked as a teacher. She was an early advocate for the abolition of slavery along with her family who joined the Abolitionist movement during the 1840s when the family moved to the city of Rochester in New York. This laid the foundation for her focus as a social reformer, focusing on issues such as women's economic situation and women's suffrage. She also came to represent the American Anti-Slavery Society in New York until the start of the Civil War.

After a period of work on his family's farm, Anthony came to work on women's rights issues and social reforms full-time. She became involved in what came to be called the suffragette movement, where she came to play a central role. Together with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she founded the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869. She constantly expressed her opinion through lectures and writings that the key to women's liberation lay in political representation. She also emphasized that all other reforms, however important they may be, could never be more important than the demand for women's suffrage.

Almost immediately after joining the movement, she signed a petition addressed to the New York state legislature. There, she demanded three major reforms: 1) the woman's right to manage her own earnings, 2) the custody of the children in the event of a divorce, and 3) the right to vote. Her and organization's efforts finally won the hearing, and in 1860 the state of New York passed a bill that gave the woman the right to "in addition to possessing property also dispose of her own earnings, initiate process and, upon the death of her husband, have the same rights as he had over his wife had passed away before him ". These reforms were a step on the road for women in New York.

When the Civil War broke out in 1861, all activities for women's liberation ceased. Some followers such as Louisa May Alcott chose to work as a nurse, but Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton visited all major cities instead with the slogan "No compromises with slave owners"; they succeeded in gathering 400,000 signatures, which led Congress to approve the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which meant that all slaves would be released immediately.

Work on women's right to vote came to continue to be pursued through the National Woman Suffrage Association and only in 1920, 14 years after Anthony's death as the United States introduced female suffrage through the 19th Amendment.

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.

What does this quote mean “People generally see what they look for and hear what they listen for”
Alenkinab [10]
It’s kind of saying if you’re too focused on one thing you’ll only find that one thing and if you’re only wanting to hear one thing you’ll only hear what you want to, sort of like close mindedness, and you won’t be able to see the other good things going on around you
