Based on information in the article, which best describes the difference between the child labor rates in Nepal and Mongolia?
A.Child labor rates have increased in Mongolia since 1990, but decreased in Nepal since 1990.
B.Child labor rates have increased in Mongolia since 1990, but stayed the same in Nepal since 1990.
C.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but decreased in Mongolia since 1990.
D.Child labor rates have increased in Nepal since 1990, but stayed the same in Mongolia since 1990.
In 2000, there were 127 million children working in Asia. By 2004, that number had fallen to 122 million. Officials are pleased that child labor rates have dropped, but they say the decline isn't happening fast enough.
Those numbers came from a recent report from the International Labor Organization (ILO). The report focused on South Asia, which includes Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other nations. It concluded that despite the decrease in the number of working children ages five to 14, South Asia remains a child labor hot spot.
The report discussed child labor in several nations and identified Nepal as one of the worst offenders. As of 2004, almost 40 percent of Nepalese children aged 10 to 14 were working. Many continue to do strenuous physical labor in mines, quarries, and carpet factories. Still, even in Nepal, child labor rates are declining; they had been near 50 percent in 1990.
The Philippines has improved, but problems remain in some industries. Many Filipino children still work in fireworks production, deep-sea fishing, and mining. The country has a national action plan to change this.
"The [anti-child labor] laws are all there," said Filipino Undersecretary of Labor and Employment Manuel G. Imson. Imson says that the government is working with the police to enforce these laws.
In some cases, child labor has emerged where it was previously nonexistent. There were few or no child laborers in Mongolia until 1990; today, up to 10,000 children there work in gold, coal, and mineral mines. Kh. Ganbaatar, executive director of the Mongolian Employers' Federation, blames the problem on economic changes as well as on natural disasters. Several years ago, winter storms killed millions of livestock. This made it harder for families to maintain their traditional herding way of life. Many of these families were forced to send their children to work.
In fact, child labor often develops because area families cannot make ends meet and need extra income. In other cases, parents want to send their children to school but cannot afford the related fees.
"A large number of working poor means that we have a large number of people who are unable to support children [going] to school," said Panudda Boonpala, senior child labor specialist at the ILO.
In August, government representatives from nearly 40 countries as well as workers' and employers' organizations attended an ILO conference. Topics on their agenda included migration, competitiveness, productivity, and youth employment (child labor). At a session on youth employment, participants watched a video that showed children working at a gold mine in Mongolia.
The ILO says that it will try to end some of the worst forms of child labor within 10 years. Its officials point out that attitudes about working children have changed in Asia. This is contributing to the reduction in child labor rates.
"I think 10 years ago there was lots of denial," Panudda said. Still, she said, nations will not be able to end child labor unless they are willing to put a lot of effort and funding into the fight against it.
Which of the following examples of figurative language from the poem best supports the idea that Susan B. Anthony's legacy was a guide and mentor for women that followed her?
Her life is a luminous banner borne ever ahead of her era
Her spirit like southern starlight at once is afar and around us
In the mine, the mill and the mart where is bartered the bread of your children
On ground hard held to the last, gaining her goal for women
Answer:
The best example of figurative language from the poem that supports the idea that Susan B. Anthony's legacy was a guide and mentor for women that followed her is "Her life is a luminous banner borne ever ahead of her era." The word "luminous" means "producing or giving light," and a banner is a symbol of a cause or movement. In this line, the speaker is comparing Susan B. Anthony's life to a luminous banner that is always leading the way for women. This suggests that Anthony's legacy is a guiding light for women, and that it will continue to inspire and motivate them for generations to come.
The other lines you provided also support the idea that Susan B. Anthony was a guide and mentor for women, but they do so in a more indirect way. The line "Her spirit like southern starlight at once is afar and around us" suggests that Anthony's spirit is still present, even though she is no longer physically here. The line "In the mine, the mill and the mart where is bartered the bread of your children" suggests that Anthony was concerned about the working conditions of women, and that she wanted to improve their lives. The line "On ground hard held to the last, gaining her goal for women" suggests that Anthony was a fighter, and that she never gave up on her goal of women's suffrage.
Overall, the poem provides a powerful and moving tribute to Susan B. Anthony. It is a reminder of her many accomplishments, and of the lasting impact she has had on the lives of women all over the world.

If you are interested in becoming a news reporter, start thinking about what kind of stories you want to write. News stories are usually divided into two types: hard news and soft news.
Hard news stories are usually about important events that are being reported on as they happen. Stories about things like politics, war, and crime fall into this group. They take a factual approach: What happened? When? Who was involved? Hard news is also called “general news” sometimes.
Soft news stories entertain the reader. They give background information and often tell a story. These stories are considered “human interest” because they talk about people in a personal or emotional way. They include information about their problems or concerns in a way that makes people sympathize.

D) "Olivia: Get him to bed and let his hurt be looked to. (She glares at Viola, who shakes her head.)"Explanation:
Part A:
Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" is about how selfish love can be. Duke Orsino and Olivia are good examples of this. Orsino's self-indulgence over Olivia's real love is a selfish act, while Olivia's obsession with Cesario causes her to ignore her duties and mourn the death of her brother. The things these characters do show how crazy love can be and how it affects other people.Part B:
"Twelfth Night" shows how selfish love can be through the line, "Olivia: Get him to bed and let his hurt be looked to. (She glares at Viola, who shakes her head.)" This is from Act V. Olivia is selfish because she cares about her own feelings and doesn't care about how others feel. This shows the theme of selfishness in love.Here you can find out more about Shakespeare: https://brainly.com/questions/32838622

Step-by-Step Explanation:
Use the excerpt from Peter Pan to answer the question.
Mrs. Darling came to the window, for at present she was keeping a sharp eye on Wendy. She told Peter that she had adopted all the other boys, and would like to adopt him also.
“Would you send me to school?” he inquired craftily.
"Yes.”
“And then to an office?”
"I suppose so.”
“Soon I would be a man?”
“Very soon.”
“I don’t want to go to school and learn solemn things,” he told her passionately. “I don’t want to be a man. O Wendy’s mother, if I was to wake up and feel there was a beard!”
“Peter,” said Wendy the comforter, “I should love you in a beard;” and Mrs. Darling stretched out her arms to him, but he repulsed her. “Keep back, lady, no one is going to catch me and make me a man.”
“But where are you going to live?”
“With Tink in the house we built for Wendy. The fairies are to put it high up among the treetops where they sleep at nights.”
“How lovely,” cried Wendy so longingly that Mrs. Darling tightened her grip.
“I thought all the fairies were dead,” Mrs. Darling said.
"There are always a lot of young ones,” explained Wendy, who was now quite an authority, “because you see when a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies. They live in nests on the tops of trees; and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are.”
“I shall have such fun,” said Peter, with one eye on Wendy.
“It will be rather lonely in the evening,” she said, “sitting by the fire.”
“I shall have Tink.”
In one to two sentences, determine how Wendy's point of view changes as the dialogue continues.
