Suppose a man works six or seven days a week in a factory, trying to support his family, but never seems to be able to make ends

meet. (2) If he analyzed his situation rationally, he would probably blame the well-to-do generally, and his employers specifically, for failing to pay him an adequate wage. (3) But these people have the power to cut off his income; to oppose them openly would be self-destructive. (4) He could also blame himself for his financial problems, but this too makes him uncomfortable. (5) Instead, he looks to the immigrants who have begun working in his factory. (6) He doesn’t really know them, but he suspects they’re willing to work for low wages and that many other immigrants are eager to take his job. (7) By a process of twisted logic, he blames these people for his poverty. (8) Soon he is exchanging rumors about “them” with his cronies and supporting efforts to close the border. (9) Hating immigrants makes the man and his friends feel a little better.

a. factory workers are not good at managing money

 

b. all factory workers are underpaid.

Determine the writer's view in the story: first, or third person.
clue: The word I is never used. 
The ability to manage money was never an issue. The statement of all workers are underpaid applies to his equals. The well to do was not defined in relation to the story. The man in this example thinks he is underpaid and has not shown his obligations, ie:  rent, food, taxes. Is everyone in his family in good health. If his brother worked in the same job with no financial obligations he could very well be a: "well to do."

Which three parts of this excerpt from Frankenstein show that the creature is innocent and helpless like a newborn child when it
Debora [2.8K]

Part I 

"A strange multiplicity of sensations seized me, and I saw, felt, heard, and smelt, at the same time. "

This part of the excerpt shows that the speaker is experiencing impulses of a newborn who is just starting to be aware of his senses. 

Part II

"I knew, and could distinguish, nothing." 

This reflects innocence and lack of experience or knowledge.

Part III

"Sometimes I wished to express my sensations in my own mode, but the uncouth and inarticulate sounds which broke from me frightened me into silence again.'

This mirrors a baby's innocence and  puerile attempt to express feelings.

Wanting to buy an mp3 player but waiting until you have the cash (rather than buying on credit) is _____. a- mature
Alika [10]

Answer:

Wanting to buy an mp3 player but waiting until you have the cash (rather than buying on credit) is both mature and responsible

Explanation:

When a person is going to acquire any kind of good that has an elevated cost, it is a demonstration of maturity and responsibility to better buy it in cash instead of asking for a credit since this keeps the person away from unnecessary debt that could become a problem if the person does not have the economic stability to afford the payments.
