Which of them is the underlined word on the sentence?
Answer:
It's a Preposition. Choice A
Explanation:
How does this theme relate to the author, Sandra Cisneros’s own life? (Use information from the introduction and the NPR article to help you answer this question.) (5 sentences)
T he House on Mango Street is a deceptive work. It is a book of short stories—and sometimes not even full stories, but character sketches and vignettes—that add up, as Sandra Cisneros has written, “to tell one big story, each story contributing to the whole—like beads in a necklace.” That story is told in language that seems simple but that possesses the associative richness of poetry, and whose slang and breaks from grammatical correctness contribute to its immediacy. It is narrated in the voice of a young girl—a girl too young to know that no one may ever hear her—but whose voice is completely convincing, because it is the creation of a mature and sophisticated writer. For example, The House on Mango Street appears to wander casually from subject to subject—from hair to hips, from clouds to feet, from an invalid aunt to a girl named Sally, who has “eyes like Egypt” and whose father sometimes beats her. But this apparent randomness disguises an artful exploration of themes of individual identity and communal loyalty, estrangement and loss, escape and return, the lure of romance and the dead end of sexual inequality and oppression.
The House on Mango Street is also a book about a culture—that of Chicanos, or Mexican-Americans—that has long been veiled by demeaning stereotypes and afflicted by internal ambivalence. In some ways it resembles the immigrant cultures that your students may have encountered in books like My Ántonia, The Jungle, and Call It Sleep. But unlike Americans of Slavic or Jewish ancestry, Chicanos have been systematically excluded from the American mainstream in ways that suggest the disenfranchisement of African-Americans. Although Cisneros uses language as a recurring metaphor for the gulf between Mexican-Americans and the majority culture, what keeps Esperanza Cordero and her family and friends locked in their barrio is something more obdurate than language: a confluence of racism, poverty, and shame. It may help your discussion to remind students that the ancestors of many Chicanos did not come to the United States by choice, but simply found themselves in alien territory as a result of the U.S.’s expansionist policy into country that had once been Mexican.
But although The House on Mango Street will have a particularly strong appeal to Latino students, who may never have encountered a book that speaks so pointedly to their own experience, it is a work that captures the universal pangs of otherness—what Cisneros, in her introduction to the tenth anniversary edition (published by Knopf, $18.00), has called “the shame of being poor, of being female, of being not-quite-good-enough.” It suggests from where that otherness comes and shows how it can become a cause for celebration rather than shame. Few students, regardless of their ancestry or gender, will come away from this book without a strong sensation of having glimpsed a secret part of themselves. For, as Sandra Cisneros has written, “You, the reader, are Esperanza…. You cannot forget who you are.”

By saying how rare and uncommon it is for any woman to have a degree in math or science let alone a black woman, and what she went through to get her position in NASA.
I think it's more important to have an education to achieve their goals. If you have a good education over time it would lead you to achieve your goals and like for Katherine, no one told her to be a mathematician she chose to do that on her own.
It meant that she didn't have that many jobs to choose from since she was a black woman at the time meaning the only thing she could pursue is teaching since you needed to know stuff for it but luckily she got a job at NASA.
In this time we define them as the same because we have done went through women and blacks rights but in her time period a black woman with a degree and working at NASA was never heard of and she helped get more women and blacks to pursuit more things.

10 Mumps (is, are) one of the most uncomfortable diseases. *
Answers:
1. She doesn’t look very well today.
"She" is a singular pronoun, so you should use a singular verb.
2. Interesting news is what sells our paper.
"news" is a singular noun, one of the exceptions which ends with s.
3. They don't think they’ll win the game tonight.
"They" is a plural pronoun.
4. It doesn't seem so cold today.
"It" is a singular pronoun.
5. A pound of cookies costs about a dollar.
in this case, the subject of the sentence is not the cookies (plural) but rather the pound (singular). thus, the verb should be singular.
6. Gymnastics is easy for Angela.
like in question 2, "gymnastics" is a singular noun. don't let the s at the end fool you!
7. He doesn't speak very well.
"He" is a singular pronoun.
8. Twenty minutes is the amount of time it takes me to get home from work.
this is another tricky one! "Twenty minutes" is actually referring to one block of 20 minutes, or one period of time, thus it is singular.
9. One hundred dollars is not a lot of money to some people.
like the question above, "one hundred dollars" is a collective noun and is singular.
10. Mumps is one of the most uncomfortable diseases.
the explanation for this is similar to q2 and q6.
i hope this helps! :D

IN 1989 Troy Davis and two friends were hanging out in Savannah, Georgia. They saw a homeless man leaving a shop and started to bully him. An off-duty policeman heard the commotion and intervened; he was shot and killed. Though no gun was found, the state produced nine witnesses who said that Mr Davis was the culprit. He was convicted of the murder and sentenced to death in 1991.
It seemed a straightforward case. Americans particularly revile cop-killers and here was a parade of people saying that Mr Davis had shot a policeman. But after the trial, no fewer than seven of the nine recanted. Several of them said they had felt subjected to pressure by the police. Others thought someone else was the killer. The homeless man said he could not remember, and anyway he had been drinking.
Answer:

Justice, in its broadest sense, is the principle that people receive that which they deserve, with the interpretation of what then constitutes "deserving" being impacted upon by numerous fields, with many differing viewpoints and perspectives, including the concepts of moral correctness based on ethics, rationality, law, religion, equity and fairness.
Justitia by Maarten van Heemskerk, 1556. Justitia carries symbolic items such as: a sword, scales and a blindfold
Justice, one of the four cardinal virtues, by Vitruvio Alberi, 1589–1590. Fresco, corner of the vault, studiolo of the Madonna of Mercy, Palazzo Altemps, Rome
Consequently, the application of justice differs in every culture. Early theories of justice were set out by the Ancient Greek philosophers Plato in his work The Republic, and Aristotle in his Nicomachean Ethics. Throughout history various theories have been established. Advocates of divine command theory have said that justice issues from God. In the 1600s, philosophers such as John Locke said that justice derives from natural law. Social contract theory said that justice is derived from the mutual agreement of everyone. In the 1800s, utilitarian philosophers such as John Stuart Mill said that justice is based on the best outcomes for the greatest number of people. Theories of distributive justice study what is to be distributed, between whom they are to be distributed, and what is the proper distribution. Egalitarians have said that justice can only exist within the coordinates of equality. John Rawls used a social contract theory to say that justice, and especially distributive justice, is a form of fairness. Robert Nozick and others said that property rights, also within the realm of distributive justice and natural law, maximizes the overall wealth of an economic system. Theories of retributive justice say that wrongdoing should be punished to insure justice. The closely related restorative justice (also sometimes called "reparative justice") is an approach to justice that focuses on the needs of victims and offenders.
