MacGregor’s main purpose in providing the quote is to
Marysya12 [62]

Answer: A. Explain why the only upper classes could afford to drink tea

Explanation:

In the excerpt, McGregor introduces a history of tea, and mentions important historical figures - such as Queen Anne - that drank it. He later mentions Samuel Johnson, a distinguished English writer, who considered himself "a happy addict." What McGregor wanted to achieve by this is to point out that tea consumption first started in the upper class - other people could not afford it.

Why does the narrator lock her husband and Jennie out of her room?
Ivanshal [37]
She locks her husband and Jennie out of the room for all of those reasons.

She is attempting to free the woman from behind the wallpaper (and herself from the constraints of her husband's cruelty). In order to free the woman, she has to be able to remove the wallpaper. Since, as the narrator describes the situation, it's fairly clear that she's going insane, she believes that she has to get all the wallpaper off so that they can't put the woman (her) back into the wall. It's important to the narrator that they not stop her from removing the paper.

Three hunters are walking single file. Which of the following would be safe?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

B. The hunter in front uses the elbow carry.

Explanation:

The safer option would be that the hunter in the front uses the elbow carry. Letter “A” is incorrect because if the hunter in the middle pulls the trigger it could hit the one in the front or even the one in the back. Letter “C” is incorrect because is the most unsafe, since every single hunter would have their gun pointing forward and by accident, they could shoot each other. Letter “D” could be correct, but the correct position if it is a walking single file is that the hunter in the front needs to be in elbow carry while the other two hunters should be in shoulder carry. Those are the reasons why the correct answer is the letter “B”.
