Read the excerpt from "An Indian's View of Indian Affairs."Some of you think an Indian is like a wild animal. This is a great mistake. I will tell you all about our people, and then you can judge whether an Indian is a man or not. Which central idea of the speech is most supported by this excerpt?The Nez Percé people want the new settlers to better understand them

The Nez Percé people want the new settlers to better understand them.

Explanation:

In Chief Young Joseph's speech "An Indian's View of Indian Affairs", he describes how the Indians had welcomed the white men into their lives, their community without any opposition. This compassionate plea of the chief is a response to the American government's attempts to 'conquer' the Indian lands for their own, thus driving the natives away from their own land where they belong and revered.

The given excerpt shows how the Indian people, the Nez Percé/ nose-pierced Indians expect the white new settlers to understand their situation. Chief Young states that even though many people believe the Indians to be "like a wild animal", he will show that they are humans just like the white settlers are. And after he's done telling his/ their side of the story, he will leave it upon them (the white men) to "judge whether an Indian is a man or not". This shows that Chief Young is determined to present his people's side of the story, and wants the new settlers to better understand them.

number 1 is a)

the correct answer is:   "   3.6 % " .

          →   the unemployment rate is:   " 3.6 % " .

explanation:

to calculate the "unemployment rate" :

the "unemployment rate"   =

  [# of people unemployed] /   [working age population]   * 100 %   ;

                =   [9 million] / [250 million]     *   100 % ;

    →     note:   the units of "million" cancel out;

                    since:   " {million} / {million} = 1 " ;

                =   (9 / 250)   * 100 %   ;

                = 0.036 * 100 % ;

                =   3.6 %

answer:   the unemployment rate is:   " 3.6 % " .
