lens quotation: "character is what you are in the dark." -dwight lyman moody
"character is what you are in the dark." dwight lyman moody, in this very smart and clever quotation of his, states we are different when we are "in the dark", that is, when we are not on center stage and everyone can see us and consequently judge us. when reading, we tend to be sympathetic to some characters and their dilemmas. by being so, we are saying to ourselves that we agree with those characters' acts and choices, even if they are morally questionable if we have common sense in mind. dwight lyman moody's quotation applies very well to "crime and punishment", by 19th century russian writer fiodor dostoyevsky. raskolnikov, the main character, a former law student who spends his days reflecting upon life and its misery, draws a fatal conclusion: mankind is divided in two main categories: ordinary and extraordinary people. the first are the ones who lead a run-of-the-mill existence and are full of imperfections; the latter are the ones who are spiritually superior, the ones who always know better, and have the right to judge the ordinary ones, as well as eliminate them if for common good. raskolnikov considers himself as belonging to the extraordinary category and decides to kill an old lady who is a money lender and in whose house he rents a small room. raskolnikov compares himself to napoleon, who had the undeniable right to execute tons of people during the war in order to save his nation. of course what the main character decides to do is a horrendous crime, but as readers we feel it is the right thing for him to do, since the victim is a mean old woman who only thinks about money and keeps humiliating her younger sister. what one experiences is a mixture of sympathy and empathy for the character, even though he decides to commit homicide, which is not at all accepted or tolerated by civilized citizens. however, since readers are "in the dark", they allow themselves to feel in ways they would probably never dare to confess to anyone, no matter how nasty or vicious a character can be. after all, they are just reading and doing no harm. in other words, readers are in the dark and can be who they are without being judged.

Ответ:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
The statement that best expresses the central idea of the text is, 'Despite the hostility toward migrant workers and their difficult life experiences, their work is essential to the success of the nation’s agriculture industry.'
In this article Steinbeck speaks about the new gypsies (who are migrant workers) their backgrounds, lifestyle and how they are beneficial and necessary to the harvesting of crops each year. He mentions that there is no other labour to pick and harvest crops therefore without these workers the crops would rot and perish making them crucial to the agricultural industry.
He also talks about how these workers are not well received by the locals and are in fact hated because of their lifestyle and how they affect neighbourhoods they take up residence in.
The best quote from the article that sums up these ideas is, "The migrants are needed, and they are hated...They are never received into a community nor into the life of a community. Wanderers in fact, they are never allowed to feel at home in the communities that demand their service.

"Abigail says that Elizabeth Proctor hates her and is a "lying, cold, sniveling woman." Abigail also blames Elizabeth for firing her, even though she was having an affair with Elizabeth's husband at the time."
Explanation:
"Honest, upright, and blunt-spoken, Proctor is a good man, but one with a secret, fatal flaw. His lust for Abigail Williams led to their affair (which occurs before the play begins), and created Abigail's jealousy of his wife, Elizabeth, which sets the entire witch hysteria in motion."
