How does Stowe characterize Simon in the novel? by using imagery from the Bible
by showing him raping a slave
by symbolically connecting him with the condition of his property
by having his family speak about his wickedness

the answer is a quran

it would be d). more resources must be obtained to attain that combination of goods and services

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
