Answer:
They agreed that the government policy that keeps the price of corn low is the reason so many farmers are going out of business.
Explanation:
Omnivores Dilemma is a non fiction book written by Michael Pollan.
When Pollan interviewed George Naylor, they both agreed that the government policy that keeps the price of corn low is the reason so many farmers are going out of business.
The price of corn is kept low by government policy even though the cost of growing corn is higher than the price for which it is sold. This leads to excess corn in circulation and makes it difficult for farmers to stay in business.
And even with the government payments, they still struggle to stay in business.

If a society is unguarded and unprepared, what do you think would be the correct term for them if a hazard would be coming?
Answer:
Physical, economic, social and political factors determine people's level of vulnerability and the extent of their capacity to resist, cope with and recover from hazards. Clearly, poverty is a major contributor to vulnerability. ... They tend to be better protected from hazards and have preparedness systems in place.
Explanation:
A correct term for this society would be "weakened."
We can use this term, because we know that society is weakened, as it has no protection and no preparation to combat the approaching danger.
The word "weakened" refers to:
Something weakened.Something down.Something diminished.Something fragile.Something unprepared.Something without strength.Thus, we can conclude that in the system formed by society and the danger that will be established over it, danger is a strengthened element, while society is a weakened element.
Furthermore, the term "weakened" can be synonymous with the terms "unguarded" and "unprepared" which are the features of this society.

20 pts!!!! ASAP! The Tale of the Three Caskets and The Merchant of Venice
The choice of three caskets to win the right to marry is key to both passages. How is this choice presented differently in Passage 2 (The Merchant of Venice)?
All three caskets contain valuable treasures.
The text reveals the thought process of the person choosing.
The person who is to be married is the one who presents the caskets.
It is clear that the person who is to be married wants the suitor to choose correctly.
Answer:
The text reveals the thought process of the person choosing.
Explanation:
this is what I think if I get it wrong at least I tried
The choice is presented differently in the text "revealing the thought process of the person choosing." Therefore, option (b) or (ii) is the correct answer.
What were the three criteria for selecting the casket?Three caskets—one made of gold, one of silver, and one of lead—are displayed to potential partners as part of the test. The suitor wins Portia's hand if he selects the right casket.
The gold coffin represents avarice, as well as superficial, materialistic people who place more emphasis on appearance than on content.
The person who chooses the coffin containing Portia's image will be able to wed her.
If the wrong casket is selected, he must remain single, keep his choice a secret, and depart right away. The Prince of Morocco is the first potential suitor.
Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.

Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about?
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?
Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect"] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?
Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back , and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.
