Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved. What conclusion can be drawn by connecting knowledge
of the historical time period with information in the text?
League women came and went, usually at a run. Some
were "ladies," like Mary Dreier, others were worker-
members, like Rose Schneiderman, a former cap
maker, and Leonora O'Reilly, who had started work in a
collar factory at the age of eleven. Another League
member, Rose Pastor Stokes, known as the red Yiddish
Cinderella, used to work in a cigar factory. When she
became engaged to the son of a millionaire they had
met at a settlement house front page headlines in the
New York Times announced J. G. Phelps Stokes to
Wed Young Jewess. At strike headquarters Mrs. Stokes
delivered fiery speeches about freeing workers from the
shackles of the bosses.
O The women of the league were wealthy women who
had little-to-no experience working in a garment
factory
The support of wealthy league women contributed to
the successful outcome of the female garment
workers' strike.
Women who worked in garment factories were often
married, so it was not critical that they receive equal
pay.
O Women who did not need to work were not interested
in or aware of the difficulties faced by garment factory
workers.

[1] nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas. tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the sierras and coastwise hills. the yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old [5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. after its death, which is slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even the moonlight fearful. but it isn't always this way. before the yucca has come to flower, while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of sugary sap. the indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their [10] own delectation why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree? . to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant to emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are to explain when and where the plant grows to show how afraid the author is of the plant
