Final answer:
The hardest work slaves did involved labor in the sugar fields, characterized by grueling, dangerous conditions, and small farmers belonged to the largest social class, owning a small amount of land.
Explanation:
The hardest work slaves did was described as labor in the sugar fields. This work was not only grueling and dangerous due to the manual harvesting of dense sugar cane, potential encounters with snakes, and the high risk of serious injury from machetes, but also because of the oppressive conditions under which enslaved people were forced to toil, including beatings for those who worked too slowly. Thus, while not directly listed in the options provided, the context provided aligns closest with the type of labor associated with sugar cultivation, which is not explicitly listed but is the implied correct answer based on descriptions of work intensity and danger.
As for the social class of small farmers, they are best described as the largest portion of society, who owned a small amount of land. This class was significant in numbers but often not well-documented, generally consisting of poor farmers who cultivated land, not belonging to the elite but above the enslaved individuals in terms of social hierarchy.

Evan: That would be lame. Didn't that happen to one of the Kennedys?
Mark: Yeah, and Sonny Bono, too.
A. conflict management
B. discussion management
C. interaction
D. evaluation
The correct answer is B. Discussion management
Explanation:
The word leadership refers to the process and skills necessary to guide or lead effectively to a group of people during a process or task. In the case presented this task or process is deciding where to go for the team-building retreat and implies the leader should guarantee all participants share their opinion about where to go and then look for some strategy to decide which one of the options given by the participants is the best for the purpose of the retreat which is to improve the way they work together.
In the excerpt, it can be seen the participants Evan, Allison and Mark are sharing their opinion without being inhibited, however, this situation also leads the participants to stop focusing on the possible options and ramble which means they start talking about situations that do not help them to decide which place is the best and therefore the discussion losses the main focus. Considering this, the leader of this situation would need to guide the participants through the discussion and make sure they can express their opinion, but avoid speaking about other subjects and forgetting the purpose of the discussion, this type of guide is called discussion management. Thus, the leadership function that is needed in the scenario presented in the excerpt is B. Discussion management as the participants lost the purpose of the discussion and need to be guided during the discussion to accomplish the main purpose of it.
Identify the type of verb: The tune-up cost only $15.

b. linking regular weak verb.
c. irregular.
d. regular.
In the sentence provided, 'cost' is the main verb and is an irregular verb, as it does not adhere to the regular pattern of forming the past tense or past participle.
The verb in the sentence 'The tune-up cost only $15.' is 'cost.' This verb is a main verb that indicates an action, specifically the action of having a certain price.

Additionally, 'cost' is an irregular verb because it does not follow the regular pattern of adding -ed or -d to form the past tense or past participle; the past tense of 'cost' is still 'cost.' Therefore, the verb is not regular.

What lesson can be drawn from the passage describing Akiba Drumer in Night by Elie Wiesel
How do the changes in his relationship with his father affect the way eliezer sees himself as an individual and in the way he views his father in night?
Eliezer's relationship with his father transforms his self-perception and view of his father in Elie Wiesel's 'Night.' The role reversal and struggles they face together lead to Eliezer's loss of innocence and evolve his identity, while demonstrating the complexities of loyalty, guilt, and responsibility within the context of their survival in concentration camps.
In Night by Elie Wiesel, the protagonist Eliezer's relationship with his father profoundly impacts his self-perception and his view of his father. As they endure the horrors of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, we observe a shift from Eliezer's initial admiration and dependency on his father to a complex mixture of guilt, responsibility, resentment, and loyalty. This complex relationship becomes a central theme of the novel, influencing how Eliezer sees himself and his actions.
Throughout their ordeal, Eliezer's role starts to change, from being protected by his father, to becoming his father's protector. This role reversal is fraught with emotional turmoil for Eliezer, as he grapples with his waning faith in God and humanity, the struggle for survival, and the shift in familial responsibilities. The changes in his relationship with his father are also indicative of Eliezer's loss of childhood innocence and the forced maturity imposed by their cruel circumstances.
Eliezer's perception of his own identity evolves as he confronts the moral dilemmas that challenge his commitment to his father. His sense of self is further compromised as he witnesses his father's physical and mental decline. Despite the immense weight of these experiences, Eliezer's bond with his father remains a source of his humanity within the inhuman world of the concentration camps.
