The Golden Hope
by Robert H. Fuller (adapted excerpt)

Chares, too, belonged to a family of wealth and influence, for his father, Jason, had been one of the foremost men in Thebes. In height he stood more than six feet, and the knotted muscles of his arms indicated enormous strength. He was buoyant, light-hearted, irresponsible, and pleasure-loving. His affection for the Athenian, whom he had known from boyhood, was the strongest impulse in him.

They (Chares and Clearchus) had first met Leonidas at the Olympic Games, where he won the laurel crown in the chariot race, and they had there admitted him to their friendship. Different as they were from each other, there seemed little in common between either of them and the swarthy Lacedæmonian who lay eating silently while they chattered gossip of mutual acquaintances. Leonidas was rather below the middle stature, all bone and sinew, practised in arms, and inured to hardships from his childhood by the unbending discipline of Sparta. His dark hair grew low down on his forehead and his black eyes were set deep under overhanging brows. He neither shared nor wished to understand the delight which Clearchus felt in a perfect statue or a masterpiece of painting. He scorned the philosophers and poets. Upon the questionable pleasures to which Chares gave his days and nights, he looked with good-natured contempt. The narrow prejudices of his country were ingrained too deeply in his character to be disturbed by any change of surroundings.

In each of the three young men who met in the house of Clearchus were typified many of the characteristics of the states to which they belonged. Athens, Thebes, and Sparta in turn had held the supremacy in the little peninsula to which the civilized world was confined but contrasted as they were, there was still a bond between them that had been welded by centuries of association.

Based on the passage, what is the best inference that can be made about Clearchus's character? A. He appreciates and values artistic talent. B. He enjoys chariot races. C. He enjoys being from a wealthy family. D. He appreciates and values physical strength.

c. acquires a foreign firm that produces most of its products to be sold in that foreign country

d. imports products from unrelated firms in other countries and sells them locally

Answer:

c. acquires a foreign firm that produces most of its products to be sold in that foreign country.

Explanation:

A multinational corporation (MNC) can be defined as any business that has productive activities in two or more countries.

This ultimately implies that, a multinational corporation (MNC) has a central corporate facility but their products are not coordinated because their respective foreign markets offer unique products and services.

If four MNCs generate the same level of sales. The MNC that acquires a foreign firm that produces most of its products to be sold in that foreign country would likely have the most direct foreign investment.

Generally, a multinational corporation (MNC) has subsidiaries in other countries and as such derives a high amount of revenue outside its home country by providing goods and services that meets the need of customers through the use of advanced technology.

Some examples of a multinational corporations (MNC) are Amazon, BNP Paribas, Alcatel-Lucent, Apple, Chevron, Casio, Disney, etc.

What did war change about Salva Dut's life in South Sudan?

Answers

Answer:

Salva Dut was born in a rural village in southwestern Sudan to the Dinka tribe. At 11 years old, the Sudanese Civil War reached his village and separated Salva from his family. He joined thousands of boys, famously known as the "Lost Boys," on their journey by foot to seek safety in refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya. After living in refugee camps for 10 years, Salva was given the opportunity to move to the United States, where he was embraced by a family in Rochester, New York. Several years later, Salva learned that his father was still alive in Southern Sudan but was suffering with disease caused by waterborne parasites. His father’s illness inspired Salva to help both his father and his country by bringing clean water to those in need. This was the beginning of Water for South Sudan.

This is a great thesis statement! It doesn't give too much info about what will be in the essay, gives a brief intro on why and what the essay will be about, and what you will be speaking on. But, one thing: I would reccomend a hook to catch the reader's attention.

Answers

Answer:

In the context of this story, people have no control over their own destinies.

Explanation:

The story shows that death is inevitable and that it is the destiny of all that is alive. Human beings, therefore, cannot avoid it, because it is the destiny that none of us has control over and that will happen even if human beings do not want to. This theme is shown through the character Prospero, who cannot escape red death, even with a cunning plan that he believes would free him from the terrible fate.

“Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two”, what does the quote mean, do you agree? And how does this quote relate to you or the world? 7-10 sentences

(Please help !!)

Answers

Answer:

The quote by Octavio Paz "Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two." to me alludes that obtaining wisdom results between the dialectic of fixity and change. As much as we fear living in the present we can't focus our minds and efforts on what is happening in our lives. The same with the change, we can't be happy or dissatisfied with change. We need both to make our lives meaningful. It is believed that no man can step in the same river twice, according to Heraclitus. It is not the same river or the same man. Finally, wisdom, therefore, is a result of the amalgamation of fixity and change. Live life willing to learn from the past and not make a focal point about the present.

The literal meaning is the language uses words that suggest actually conventional meanings that are accepted, while deeper meaning uses words that deviate from that actual conventional meanings.

Answer:

The environmental and financial benefits of recycling and reuse plants are clear. My opponent may claim that the facilities and sites have their own waste and toxicity problems because chemicals are needed to recycle some materials. However, not recycling and reusing material creates a larger waste and toxicity problem because new materials need to be created. Also, $230 billion in revenue and more than 1 million jobs created and maintained is worth the small amount of waste output from the reuse and recycling facilities.
