It was an illogical jump from the idea that a "lady" is not a glutton and therefore will not finish the food on her plate or take the last cookie off of the platter A "lady" especially a young lady must never appear hungry If she did, she would not be an ideal candidate for a wife To this day, I not finish what is on my plate and I will never eat the last of anything It is not a conscience thing When think about it, make a point to finish the food on my plate, there is still some teenage rebellion against mom in this thirty-four year-old body, but the thought of not finishing is so ingrained that I rarely think about it When my husband and I are at dinner, he will gesture to something on the table and say, "Finish your food" and will respond, "I can't, I'll never get married."

passages carefully and choose the correct answer In developing countries, people are sometimes unaware of the importance of education, and there is economic pressure from those parents who prioritize their children's, making money in the short term over any long-term benefits of education Recent studies on child labor and, poverty have suggested that 15 when poor families reach a certain economic threshold where families are able to provide for their basic needs, parents return their children to school This has been found to be true, once the threshold has been breached, even if the potential economic value of the children's work has increased since their return to school Other problems are that teachers are often paid less than other professions; a lack of good universities and a low
