Read the passages carefully. Explain how modality, medium, and format in the articles as well as in the museum itself have affected your understanding of modern slavery. PASSAGE ONE:
"The museum has made it possible to lay out our argument about slavery from A to Z, in a sort of irrefutable package of completely documented and totally unimpeachable facts,” says CIW staff member Greg Asbed. "And when you can see the whole history and evolution of 400 years of forced labor in Florida’s fields assembled in one place, then all the false assumptions about what drives modern-day slavery just fall away. It’s not workers’ immigration status today, or a few rogue bosses, but the fact that farmworkers have always been Florida’s poorest, most powerless workers. Poverty and powerlessness is the one constant that runs like a thread through all the history. In short, you see, it’s not about who’s on the job today. It’s about the job itself.

–"Modern Slavery,”
Katrina vanden Heuvel
PASSAGE TWO:
Today, the CIW's focus is no longer uncovering cases of slavery. Instead, its aim is preventing them from happening in the first place through an initiative it calls the Fair Food Program.

Participants in the program, which include 90% of tomato growers in Florida, allow CIW staff to come onto their properties and hold mandatory education sessions for all employees. The workers receive booklets that outline their rights and a hotline to call if they experience violations.

The growers also agree to regular third-party inspections of their farms. When they visit, a team of auditors speaks confidentially with at least 50% of workers to ensure their rights are being respected.

–"How America's ‘Ground-Zero’ for Modern
Slavery Was Cleaned Up by Workers' Group,”
Lisa Cohen
ANSWER: (sample response, my answer was wrong)
Both articles are written, allowing me to read and reread the text to gain understanding of the ideas. The quotations in the articles give me deeper insight by providing a window into the topic. The museum itself contains hands-on exhibits. I can picture myself in that hot trailer and imagine conditions that some people experience. All together, the use of various modalities, media, and formats help me gain a deep understanding of the topic.

i couldn't find the answer to this so i decided to post it for anyone in need:)

Select the correct answer. what opinion about russian society does leo tolstoy express in this excerpt from the death of ivan ilyich? the awful, terrible act of his dying was, he could see, reduced by those about him to the level of a casual, unpleasant, and almost indecorous incident (as if someone entered a drawing room defusing an unpleasant odour) and this was done by that very decorum which he had served all his life long. he saw that no one felt for him, because no one even wished to grasp his position. only gerasim recognized it and pitied him. and so ivan ilyich felt at ease only with him. he felt comforted when gerasim supported his legs (sometimes all night long) and refused to go to bed, saying: "don't you worry, ivan ilyich. i'll get sleep enough later on," or when he suddenly became familiar and exclaimed: "if you weren't sick it would be another matter, but as it is, why should i grudge a little trouble? " gerasim alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. once when ivan ilyich was sending him away he even said straight out: "we shall all of us die, so why should i grudge a little trouble? "—expressing the fact that he did not think his work burdensome, because he was doing it for a dying man and hoped someone would do the same for him when his time came. a. the peasant class in nineteenth-century russia was full of honest and compassionate people. b. educated professionals gained influence in russian society in the nineteenth century. c. in the nineteenth century, middle-class russians were rich and well-educated. d. peasants more readily accepted unpleasant facts of life, while the middle class tried to deny them.
