Which of the following best explains the meaning and purpose of the following phrase from paragraph 29: “the same mill that grinds out the extra rich is the mill that will grind out the extra poor”? A The phrase connects the rich and the poor through the “mill,” implying that the two groups are not so different and thus contributing to the central theme of equality. B The phrase shows the rich taking advantage of the poor working at the mill, supporting the author’s claims that the rich knowingly take advantage of cheap, poor labor. C The phrase means the same “mill,” which represents U. S. industry, creates the very wealthy and the very poor, contributing to the author’s main argument for economic social reform. D The phrase means that the same process that makes wealth also creates poverty, implying that there is no way to fully fix the economy to guarantee equality.

answer:

2

explanation:

1+1 = 2

the reason this is so is because of basic addition. we can double check this without using addition if you really want. if you take 1+1=x, subtract 1 from both sides than you get 1 = x - 1. subtract x from both sides and you get 1 - x = -1. subtract 1 from both sides again and you get -x = -2. finally, multiply both sides by -1 to get x = 2. subtraction is still technically addition you say? fine, have it your way. 1 + 1 = x. by definition, adding something to itself is the same thing as multiplying it by 2. this means we can technically rewrite the equation as

1 * 2 = x. now all we have to do is solve it. 1 * 2 = x when simplified results in 2 = x, or x = 2. this shows 1 + 1 = x. you say you want a real answer. you want me to start you from the ground up? well i would, but that would practically just be stealing from what was written on this website: go check it out if you really need to.
