Ay, Yoyo, you are going to be the one to bring our name to the headlights in this country! That is a beautiful, beautiful speech

I want for your father to hear it before he goes to sleep. Then I will type it for you, all right?" –“Daughter of Invention,” Julia Alvarez In this passage, the mother tries to use an English idiom about having one’s name in lights, which means to be famous. Instead, she says that Yoyo will bring their name “to the headlights in this country.” What does the mother’s language reveal? What does the mother mean to express about her daughter Yoyo?

The mother's language in this passage of "Daughter of Invention,” by Julia Alvarez revelas that she is not a native English speaker, but someone that uses it as a second language and may not know the correct uses of some idioms and phrases.

Question 2:

Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England. A miller’s daughter dies in her bed, weakened from lack
Yakvenalex [24]

A miller’s daughter dies in her bed, weakened from lack of food.

Another “poor, hunger-starved beggar boy” is found in the street and carried into a house, where he dies.

A four-year-old local boy dies “for want of food and means,” as does his mother.

You hear the story of a man leaving his home and walking hundreds of miles in search of work or food and returning after a couple of months with sufficient money only to find that his wife and children have all since died.

These four are clear explicit examples of starvation during Elizabethian times, since England faced hard times during Elizabethian times, since the population grew larger by a third, and the resources stayed the same, they had to divide the same products between more people.

Why did Churchill replace Chamberlain as Britain's new prime minister shortly after World War II began?
Natasha2012 [34]

There should have been options to choose from for this question. I found the options elsewhere and the correct answer would be because Churchill had a better understanding of the situation with Hitler than Chamberlain did.

Churchill knew that diplomacy would not work with Hitler and the only way to reach a resolution was through military force and tactics.
