D. Working in the service industry, Ehrenreich would be making about the same amount of money per hour, but not living in poverty.
Answer: D. Working in the service industry, Ehrenreich would be making about the same amount of money per hour, but not living in poverty.
Explanation:
The federal minimum wage in 2000 was $5.15 as compared to the current $7.25 which means that if inflation was taken into account, Ehrenreich would still be making about the same amount of money per hour.
The cost of goods and services have disproportionately risen since then however which means that Ehrenreich would have higher expenses as a percentage of income but overall not living in poverty.
Manuelle is writing an analysis paper on Edgar Allan Poe‘s poem the raven. which two of the following elements does he need to include in his essay?
How do structure and word choice reveal a message in a poem
Answer:
Structure in Literature
Everything we write has a specific structure. A text message is short and filled with slang, an email is formatted like a letter, and an essay is in formal paragraphs. These various structures contribute to the overall meaning or message of the writing. Think of structure as how the parts in a piece of literature are put together.
Authors will carefully consider the structure of every piece of writing because changing the parts will change the whole message. For instance, having slang in a formal essay will undoubtedly make the writing less serious.
Two types of literature that have specific structures are poetry and drama. Let's look at the structure of both poetry and drama to analyze how it contributes to the author's message.
Structure of Poetry
Poetry is literature written in stanzas and lines that use rhythm to express feelings and ideas. Poets will pay particular attention to the length, placement, and grouping of lines and stanzas. This is called form. Lines or whole stanzas can be rearranged in order to create a specific effect on the reader.
One example is the sonnet, which is a 14 line poem with a specific rhyme scheme. The key with sonnets is that most end with a pair of lines set apart from the rest. Setting those two lines aside gives emphasis to their content, so whatever message is being sent will be given more importance.
Another aspect of the structure of poems is the rhythm, which is the beat of the poem. This is usually measured in meters, which are sets of stressed and unstressed syllables. Poets often arrange words according to meter in order to create specific sounds or beats. Think about any song (which is a type of poem) that you sing along to. Think about the rhythm of the music and the words. Is the singer angry? Or sad? The notes and meter might at first be fast, harsh, or short, while later it might be slow, soft, and drawn-out. These rhythms affect the overall message.
Finally, a poet might use figurative language techniques to establish an overall effect. Rhyme scheme is one such method using a pattern of repeated final sounds in the last words of each line. Creating a pattern of rhyming can also affect the rhythm of a poem. In addition, whole rhyming lines can be repeated throughout a poem in order to emphasize the author's message.
Again, let's use songs as an example. Each one has a chorus, or the few lines that are repeated over and over. Aren't these the lines everyone knows by heart? The writer of that song knows that by manipulating rhyme and repetition, he/she can have the audience repeating his/her message over and over. Rhyme and repetition are very powerful tools.

Several limitations should be noted. Major limitations are the incomplete sample participation in young adulthood, possible unmeasured underlying susceptibility factors, (e.G., familial influences), and some researchers might question the reliability of the TD instrument for measuring drug dependence.
Answer:
The researchers must note key limitations for measuring dependency on drugs. The inadequate representative participation in young adulthood; unmeasured ultimate susceptibility factors like familial influences; may interrogate the credibility of the instrument TD.
Explanation:
As per the question, the given paragraph regarding the TD instrument can be revised as mentioned above in order to give it a more precise and coherent form. The author lays emphasis on noting down the major constraints for estimating the reliance over the drugs which include the insufficient sample participation that causes the fundamental sensitivity factors to be ignored. This ignorance directly poses threat to the credibility of the instrument by questioning its validity. Thus, they need to jotted down adequately to ensure efficacy of the research.
Case Study 15 Marks
Jones runs a family-owned department store in Ba. The store consists of nine different
departments, each with its own department manager. Store hours are Monday through
Saturday from 10:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., and from noon until 5:00 P.M. on Sunday.
Each department has its own cash register, and two salespersons are assigned to each
register. To prevent any confusion, each salesperson must enter his or her own secret code
with each transaction. At the end of each day, the sales manager in each department tallies
the department’s register, collects the money (cash and checks) from the register, and prepares a transmittal slip for the general manager to review and sign. The general manager
then double-checks the cash count before signing the transmittal slips.
After collecting all cash receipts from all departments, the general manager prepares a daily
cash sales report and sends it to the store’s finance manager. The finance manager again
counts the money and signs three copies of the daily cash sales report. She keeps one copy
for herself, a second copy goes to the store accountant, and the last copy goes to the store
manager. The finance manager then puts all of the cash into the company safe, where it
stays until the next morning when it is picked up by an armored car service.
The store accountant reconciles copies of cash sales reports with bank deposit slips and
with credits on the monthly bank statement.
Jones has a close relationship with the bank, so he was always called first when there is
any kind of issue or problem. He just received a call from one of the bank’s customer
service representatives who suggested that he look into some customer checks that had
recently bounced. The bank representative said that some of the payer names on the checks
had come up in bad checks written to a number of other local businesses.
“You have an insider working against you,” said the bank employee. “This is happening
all over town; I heard a police investigator say that there’s always in insider involved.
Required:
1. Discuss two possible fraud schemes in the company (5 Marks)
2. Given the store’s procedures for processing cash receipts, identify which people are
in position to participate in a check fraud scheme and how they may be involved.
(7 marks)
3. Identify one internal control procedure in detail that could have eliminated the
fraud. (3 marks)

Read the excerpt from Holes. "Not every Stanley Yelnats has been a failure," Stanley's mother often pointed out, whenever Stanley or his father became so discouraged that they actually started to believe in the curse. The first Stanley Yelnats, Stanley's great-grandfather, had made a fortune in the stock market. "He couldn't have been too unlucky." At such times she neglected to mention the bad luck that befell the first Stanley Yelnats. He lost his entire fortune when he was moving from New York to California. His stagecoach was robbed by the outlaw Kissin' Kate Barlow. In the excerpt, how does the author provide details to suggest that Stanley's mother often chooses to focus on the positive side of a situation? He describes what Stanley's mother often says. He describes what Stanley's mother often feels. He describes how Stanley's mother often behaves. He describes how others often react to Stanley's mother.
Answer:
He describes what Stanley's mother often says.
Explanation:
Remember, the statement from the excerpt,
"At such times she neglected to mention the bad luck that befell the first Stanley Yelnats."
This statement by the author thus indicates that Stanley's mother often chooses to focus on the positive side of a situation. For example, despite the fact that the first Stanley Yelnat lost his fortune suddenly, no mention was made by her.
