rainfall, cold summers, and over – long winters are common cause of crop
failure, as are plagues of locusts, other production and to create conditions
which may result in famine after the failure off a single crop.
In ancient societies, famines were of more frequent occurrence
because of primitive methods of food production and storage. Medieval
Europe was no less liable to such suffering than China, India, and other
countries of eastern Asia ; both continents were equally devoid of efficient
communication and transportation in one locality could not ordinarily be the
inhabitants of a locality only 100 miles and reliance chiefly on neighboring
farm lands for food supply created conditions only too favorable to the
outbreak of famine in big cities.

Wolof shackle mate. After a moment, Kunta realized that the Wolof hadn’t
whispered the word on to the next man, and after wondering for a while why
not, he thought that perhaps he hadn’t said them clearly, so he started to
whisper the message once again. But abruptly the Wolof spat out loudly
enough to be heard across the darkness cam several loud exclamations of
agreement with the Wolof, and arguments broke out here and there.
Kunta was deeply shaken. The shocked realization that he lay with a
pagan burned into his brain, faith in Allah being as precious to him as life
itself. Until now he had respected the friendship and the wise opinions of his
older shacklemate. But now Kunta knew that there could never be any more
companionship between them.

Paragraph IV ?
When a nation makes war, its government always states the reasons
for the war. This necessary if the people are to be united in the war effort.
But the reasons given for a war need not be the same as its causes. For
example, the Government of the United States pointed to the British
interference with American shipping and the impressments of American
seamen as reasons for the War of 1812. A cause which was the desire on
the part of some Americans to extend the United States into lands held by
the British and their Spanish allies in North American. This was one of the
important causes of the war, but it was not stated as a reason. The causes
of war may be selfish, base, or even wicked, but the reasons stated are
usually lofty and noble. Both sides in a war may show reasons which they
consider to be valid.
War is not the only kind of struggle in which there may be some right
on both sides. Almost every case that comes to trial before a court has this
same quality. In a suit over property, both sides can usually show a claim
of some sort, he court has to decide which is the better claim. If there were
no court, both persons claiming the property might feel justified in fighting
for it.
In frontier days many Westerners carried guns and settled their
disputes by fighting. Until courts and police forces were established, they
had no other way to settle quarrels in which both sides were party right.
People often joined forces against horse thieves and other “ bad men, ” but
they could not handle quarrels between honest men who disagreed about
their rights.
Today a similar problem exists among nations. The people in any
country are likely to see their won interests more clearly than they can see
the interests of people in another country. People’s own desires seem so
reasonable and so important that the desires of people in another country
are likely to look selfish and unreasonable. Laws and courts can take care
of such disputes within a country, but there has as yet been no effective law
between countries. That is why the use of force to settle a dispute is called
a “ crime ” within a country and a “war” between countries. War can exist
only where there is no effective law.
a. the government must always give the reasons for making a war.
c. there are differences between the causes and the reasons for a war.
d. both sides must try to find as valid a reason for a war as possible.
88. In the year 1812, American declared war against England because …..

a. ineffective b. forceful
c. sound d. complete
