The readers get to know that Hughie, though is unemployed but is generous when he told Trevor about his charity to the old man. And Trevor's characterization is also revealed through his conversation with Hughie.

Why is college not necessary for success? Explain
Not so long ago, adults were able to live well and achieve economic, social and personal success without the rigor of a college education. So, what changed?
Since the turn of the millennia, students have been increasingly encouraged to attend college after high school. The genuine desire to learn aside, 72% of college graduates pinpoint career goals as their main motivation for pursuing a college education.
Just because more students are choosing to matriculate to post-secondary education, it doesn’t mean that this is the only – or best – way to live a good, happy, successful life.
We hear regularly about the successes of college dropouts like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and yes, even Oprah Winfrey, but are often also taught to view these cases as anomalies that are unattainable for the average person. While comparable levels of success are highly improbable for most people (college graduates or not), the shared characteristics of these individuals provide us with part of the framework to achieve success outside of the realm of convention.
Drive, self-reliance, patience, and passion are just a few of the top qualities of highly successful people, and it turns out we can acquire these traits both with and without a college education. College isn’t for everyone, so it’s important to open up the conversation with students about alternative routes to career and life success. Here are some ideas to consider.
Trade Schools and Vocational Training
Unlike traditional colleges, trade schools offer an education specific to a certain field. For example, a welder attends trade school to learn the craft of welding. These skills are directly and immediately applicable to a trade career, allowing people access to sustainable work and the benefit of forgoing the high cost and extensive time needed to pursue a traditional college degree. Based on this information, we think it’s time that vocational education makes a comeback in U.S. schools.
Entrepreneurship
Starting a business requires initial capital and with climbing rates of student debt, this can be hard to come by after attending a four-year university. While entrepreneurship is still a risky endeavor, there are many access points to funding that make entrepreneurship a more viable route to success than it has ever been before, whether you have a college education or not.
Join the Military
Joining the military isn’t just for students who don’t classify themselves as “book smart.” It’s a highly regarded and valuable path to learning life and technical skills, as well as honorably serving our country. The military is an excellent route for students who want to be held accountable, and it opens up the door to incredible opportunities throughout the career lifecycle.
Go to Community College
If students are unsure about attending a traditional four-year college, community college is a useful way to gain experience and take time to figure out what’s right for them. Community colleges vary widely in terms of topics of study and are a cost-effective way to gain useful skills and job experience.
Seek an Apprenticeship
Apprenticeships are reliable access points to careers in the skilled trades (carpentry, plumbing, pipe fitting, etc.), agriculture, healthcare, and other career paths. The best part about apprenticeships? You get paid to learn. Although they can be highly selective, apprenticeships don’t typically require a college education and take less time to complete than most traditional degree programs.
Volunteer
Organizations like AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps, and other volunteer-based programs are legitimate ways to gain career and technical skills while serving various charitable organizations and endeavors. Service organizations seek out applicants with a wide variety of experience and backgrounds and provide their volunteers with an array of benefits, including pay, transportation, housing, food stipends, etc.
The types of alternative post-high school options are as unique as each person who chooses to forgo the conventional route. Even as the future of traditional college education continues to shift and evolve, it will never meet the needs of every person after high school. How are you discussing the diverse realm of possibilities with your students and children?
Answer:because there are noobs, and it’s a college that are for special E.D

EXCERPT FROM FRANKENSTEIN: CHAPTER 16 : commonlit
Part B: which of the following quotes best supports the answer to part A
Part A answer: a person needs structure and support in order to form a good conscience and proper identity
OPTIONS:
A: Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly1 bestowed?
B: There was none among the myriads4 of men that existed who would pity or assist me
C: Inflamed by pain, I vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind
D: ‘I too can create desolation; my enemy is not invulnerable; this death will carry despair to him, and a thousand other miseries shall torment and destroy him.
Answer:
Explanation:
the answer is B hope it helps
The quote that best supports the answer to part A is:
B. There was none among the myriads of men that existed who would pity or assist me.
In Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", the scientist Victor Frankenstein gives life to a monster he created with parts of different human bodies.The monster, however, like a normal human being, has feelings and emotional needs.Since the monster is unable to connect with others at an emotional level, he begins to hate humankind and to kill.His purpose is to kill those Frankenstein loves as a punishment for having been created by him.When the monster says in Chapter 16 "none among the myriads of men that existed. . . would pity or assist me," he is justifying his actions.Why should he pity the humans he has killed if none of them has ever pitied him? Why should he be kind when no one has ever been kind to him? The lack of love and support prevented him from developing good conscience.In conclusion, the quote above supports the idea that a person needs structure and support in order to form a good conscience and proper identity.Learn more about the story here:

"Fair is not an objective term - it is a matter of perspective filtered by a subjective assessment." What does this mean and how can we consider this to be a part of the thesis of the article?
Answer:
First of all, what article is this? I want to read it now, because that quote is FIRE
Second, it means that the definition of the term "fair" is not something that exists outside of human perception, outside of our minds and our thoughts. "It is a matter of perspective filtered by a subjective assessment.", meaning that it is how each person sees "fairness" in relation to the now.
Basically, it's saying that "fair" is an opinion, a feeling, not a fact. Without the human mind, "fair" is nothing. It's based on human morals, what is "right" and what is "wrong" in everyone's seperate ideas. Everyone's idea of what is "fair" is moulded by their situation in life, and in the current instance. For example, a child who has lived a life of luxury may say that not getting a lolipop is "unfair", while a child who has lived in poverty might say that not getting something to eat that day is "unfair".
I realised that wasn't very basic. In more simpler terms, fairness is a matter of perspective, there is no solid definition. Everyone has their own idea of fairness.
This could be considered part of the thesis of your article because it is a strong idea, and maybe the said article is based around the concept of fairness. I really can't say accurately because I haven't read the article.
I hope this helps! :)

Read the following excerpt from the Declaration of Independence.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.... That whenever
any Form of Government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on
such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as
to thern shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness... The history of the present King of Great
Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations ...
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome
and necessary for the public good.
How do the authors of the Declaration best use deductive reasoning to

O A. They list the colonists' grievances against the British monarchy,
starting with the king's refusal to 'Assent to Laws:
OB. They follow his initial statement by accusing the British king of

What evidence from the text supports the prediction that Helmer will learn the contents of the letter? Select three options.
Helmer knows that there is a piece of mail from Krogstad in the box.
Nora looks at her watch and tells herself she has 31 hours to live.
Helmer thinks that Nora is nervous and dismisses her pleas about the mail.
Mrs. Linde fails to find Krogstad so he can take back the piece of mail.
Nora expresses her intention of having a champagne banquet.
Answer:
A. Helmer knows that there is a piece of mail from Krogstad in the box.
C. Helmer thinks that Nora is nervous and dismisses her pleas about the mail.
D. Mrs. Linde fails to find Krogstad so he can take back the piece of mail.
Krogstad is blackmailing Nora. Krogstad works for Helmer, Nora's husband, but Helmer has decided to fire him. Since Krogstad knows about an illegal loan Nora has taken from the bank where they work, he is threatening to reveal that in case Nora does not convince her husband to give him his job back.
In Act 2, Nora is desperate because she knows there is a letter from Krogstad to her husband in the letter box, and so does Helmer. She pleads with him to not read any mail until after a party the next day, but Helmer thinks she is doing this out of nervousness and dismisses her pleas. To make matters worse, Nora's friend, Mrs. Linde, fails to contact Krogstad and ask him to retrieve the letter. All of that is evidence that support the prediction that Helmer will learn the contents of the letter.
