Read this excerpt from Countee Cullen's poem "The Dark Tower," and then complete the sentences that follow. We shall not always

plant while others reap The golden increment of bursting fruit, Not always countenance, abject and mute, That lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; Not everlastingly while others sleep . . . When Cullen speaks of planting while others reap, and standing "abject and mute," he is speaking about the injustices present in American society. As these injustices have changed over time, the American has also shifted. Those changes are, in turn, reflected in American literature.

We will not always be the ones to sow while others gather the rich rewards; we will not continually endure being humble and silent while inferior individuals look down on their peers; nor will we perpetually tolerate others resting while we labor. Cullen's reference to planting while others reap and standing "abject and mute" highlights the (RACIAL) inequalities in American society. As these injustices evolve over time, the (IDENTITY) of America changes as well, and these transformations are mirrored in American literature.

Flura [7041]
<span>Reverend Hale, a learned man from Beverly, was called by Parris to look into the supposed witchcraft infiltrating Salem. Initially, he was eager to take on this task. Nonetheless, his analytical nature prevents him from becoming swept away by the town's hysteria. As accusations escalate and innocent lives are lost, Hale's faith in the witch trials begins to crumble. He feels a deep sense of guilt for those he thinks he has condemned unjustly. Additionally, he starts to see the witch court as a self-serving institution. The court needs to identify witches to affirm its legitimacy. Hale makes a desperate attempt to persuade Proctor to admit to illicit actions, fully aware of the court’s hypocrisy and aims. He insists that Proctor play along to save his own life, assured that the court would show mercy if he confesses. In the end, Proctor chooses not to sign; his name is all that remains to him. Reverend Hale finds himself disenchanted; his previous beliefs have shattered.

Summarize how levitt and dubner logically support their argument that cheating exists when there is high incentive, but that the
Leya [7781]
Levitt and Dubner, the authors of the influential book "Freakonomics," argue that students have always felt compelled to cheat to achieve better grades, which in turn can lead to improved social status. Additionally, teachers started to engage in cheating as they, too, faced pressures related to their students' performance, with their employment sometimes hinging on student success. For instance, in Chicago, a school was nearing closure due to poor grades, prompting teachers to resort to dishonest practices to retain their jobs. While this behavior did arise from incentives, Levitt and Dubner's findings suggest that only around 5% of teachers engage in cheating, with honesty prevailing among the majority. A similar trend is observed with sumo wrestlers, who often cheat in response to dissatisfaction with their low incomes.

El texto “Los tres estadounidenses más ricos tienen más dinero que la mitad de la población estadounidense” es un ejemplo de una estadística que puede ser verificada como verdadera o falsa.

La oración “Los impuestos serían luego invertidos por burócratas del gobierno, quienes siempre han fracasado en crear riqueza significativa” es un ejemplo de una opinión debatible.
