The correct answer is the second sentence actually "the realization that the prosperity of the past was completely gone and very unlikely to return"

Harburg wanted to show that many people, including him, cannot comprehend how all these men who built the nation are now begging for money and can barely survive. The realization that America is falling apart is tragic for them.

Answer:

The correct answer is actually the second one: the realization that the prosperity of the past was completely gone and very unlikely to return.

Explanation:

"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime" is a song that was composed by E.Y "Yip" Harburg and Jay Gorney, in 1930, and it was based on a lullaby that Gorney had known from his childhood. It was also highly criticized as it was seen by Republicans as an antti-capitalist propaganda. In an interview, one of the song´s creators, Gorney, explained himself the origin and reason for their song and he himself said that it was meant as a means to make Americans think about the situation of people who had lost it all, even after having given it all to their country, in benefit of their country, and were now ignored by their people. These were his exact words: "I didn´t want a song to depress people. I wanted to write a song to make people think. It isn´t a hand-me-out song of "give me a dime, I´m starving, I´m bitter." It wasn´t that kind of sentimentality." (Jay Gorney).

Solution 1

If those were work books that answers, I believe they should not throw them out.  They should keep them especially if the subjects are any type of math, chemistry or physics.  I recommend this because some of the questions in these books can come either in college or sometimes at a job exam.  They can use that as a reviewer.

I NEED HELP ASAP I'M TIMED ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 30 POINTS Tractor trailers have very large blind spots called No zones where are these no zones located in which is most dangerous and why
Solution 1

This blind spot begins roughly at the passenger side truck door and extends outward to cover the lanes adjacent to the truck's trailer. This is why passing a semi-truck on the right is so dangerous, because the truck's driver is unlikely to notice you until it's too late.

Where is the biggest blind spot?

The rear passenger side of your vehicle has the blindest spots. You should also pay attention to other blind spots in addition to this one. These are usually to the side or back of your vehicle, where you can't see other drivers from your mirrors.

No Zones are the blind spots on a truck. A No Zone is defined as the area around the trucks where your car is no longer visible or where you are so close that the truck cannot safely stop or maneuver. When you are in a No Zone, you are much more likely to be involved in a collision.

Solution 2
Tractor trailers have very large blind spots called no zones Side No-Zones: Trucks have extremely large blind spots on both sides of the tractor, and the front part of the trailer. These blind spots then angle out from the truck. Driving your vehicle in these blind areas can put you into a dangerous situation where you can be sideswiped by a truck that can't see you.

Hope this helps! :)
