"Congress and the President give the line agencies goals to meet, and the staff agencies help the line agencies meet these goals as effectively as possible through advising, budgeting, purchasing, management, and planning. The general public is much more aware of the work of line agencies than it is of that of most of the staff units. It is for a rather obvious reason: it is the line agencies that carry out public policies and, in doing so, deal directly with the public."

Based on this excerpt from the student text, which of the following is a line agency?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C. the Securities and Exchange Commission, which oversees the nation's stock markets

Explanation:

The SEC is a line agency because they were established by an act of Congress and are given directives by Congress and the Presidency to ensure that the nation's stock market runs smoothly.

They are in the public eye more due to the policies that they implement to ensure that the market moves smoothly which further cements their designation as a line agency.

The rest are staff agencies.

Answer:

a. Gill felt justified in his suspicion of Randy Brill.

Explanation:

Option A is the correct answer.

From the excerpt, we discover that Gill has taken time to learn about Randy Brill's sinister reputation even though it was once they met. One can deduce that this makes Gill feel justified to be suspicious of Randy Brill.

Also, the detective is one who actually has an innate suspicion for politicians. As a private detective, he tends to learn about politicians and to know the dark side of humans.

Why is Macbeth afraid of Banquo?

Answers

Answer:

Macbeth is a deeply suspicious man. Having murdered his way to the Scottish throne, he's acutely aware that he could just as easily experience the same fate. Deeply insecure in his power, Macbeth has started to become dangerously paranoid; he sees potential traitors everywhere.

The biggest threat comes from Banquo, not because he's a traitor but because he has all the qualities of kingship. Dashing, charismatic, and with a real nobility of character, Banquo has something of Duncan in him. As long as Banquo is around, Macbeth knows that he can never be safe on the Scottish throne.

Macbeth's also deeply in thrall to the witches' prophecies. The Weird Sisters told him that though Banquo will never become king, his descendants will. This makes Macbeth especially nervous about the security of his throne. He now believes he has no choice but to wipe out Banquo and his entire family if he's ever to have some measure of peace.

Now answer Numbers 1 through 4 on your Answer Sheet. Base your answers on the article "Linda Brown." What generalization can be made about the Supreme Court justices in the 1950s?

a. They cared about educating children.
b. They believed that white teachers should be paid higher wages.
c. They supported segregation.
d. They thought all schools did a poor job of educating students.


PLZ HELP ME IM DESPERATE ​

Answers

Answer:

a. They cared about educating children.

Explanation:

The article "Linda Brown" gives a short summary of what happened with Linda Brown and her schooling. Being an African-American child, she was refused education in the nearby school, leading to the famous 1954 court case "Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka".

After Linda Brown's father filed a lawsuit with the help of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the court case garnered huge controversy. And the Supreme Court made the decision to allow an integrated education system. The court "decided that providing separate educational experiences for white and African American children was against the law. They believed that children who were treated differently would not achieve as much in school." This decision paved the way for African American children like Linda Brown to get an education wherever they want. This event started a new revolution- that of equality in education.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.

i. The old woman looked up at the sky and said, “Dark clouds are a sign of rain.” ii. “Where will you be tomorrow, in case I have to call you?” she said.
iii. “Be calm and listen to me,” the principal said.

Answers

Answer:

1. The old woman looked up at the sky and said that dark clouds were a sign of rain.

2. She asked me where I would be the next day in case she had to call me.

3. The principal told us to be calm and to listen to him.

Explanation:

To report an affirmative sentence, we pay attention to the verb tense. We use the past form of the original tense used in the sentence. We also change the subject, according to whom the speaker is talking to. Expressions of time must be altered to fit the new tense as well (sentence 1)

When reporting a question, we must not only observe the rules above, but also the fact that it will no longer be structured as a question in the new sentence (sentence 2). As for the imperative, we use verbs such as "ask" or "tell", and the reported sentence uses "to" or "not to" (sentence 3).

NOTE:

There is something important to note about the original sentences: not one of them reveals to whom the speakers are talking to. Therefore, there can be different possibilities of reported speech, especially for sentences 2 and 3. Let's use sentence 2 as an example. The original is: “Where will you be tomorrow, in case I have to call you?” she said. But we don't know who "you" is. I chose to make the reported sentence by transforming "you" into "me", as if the woman was talking to me. But she could have been talking to someone else - a man, for instance. In that case, the reported sentence would be: She asked him where he would be the next day in case she had to call him.
