From Message Regarding Labor Legislation (March 25, 1908)
by Theodore Roosevelt

I call your attention to certain measures as to which I think there should be action by the Congress before the close of the present session. There is ample time for their consideration. As regards most if not all of the matters, bills have been introduced into one or the other of the two Houses, and it is not too much to hope that action will be taken one way or the other on these bills at the present session. In my message at the opening of the present session, and, indeed, in various messages to previous Congresses, I have repeatedly suggested action on most of these measures.
Child labor should be prohibited throughout the Nation. At least a model child-labor bill should be passed for the District of Columbia. It is unfortunate that in the one place solely dependent upon Congress for its legislation there should be no law whatever to protect children by forbidding or regulating their labor.
I renew my recommendation for the immediate reenactment of an employers' liability law, drawn to conform to the recent decision of the Supreme Court. Within the limits indicated by the court, the law should be made through and comprehensive, and the protection it affords should embrace every class of employee to which the power of the Congress can extend.
In addition to a liability law protecting the employees of common carriers, the Government should show its good faith by enacting a further law giving compensation to its own employees for injury or death incurred1 in its service. It is a reproach to us as a Nation that in both Federal and State legislation we have afforded less protection to public and private employees than any other industrial country of the world.
I also urge that action be taken along the line of the recommendations I have already made concerning injunctions2 in labor disputes. No temporary restraining order should be issued by any court without notice; and the petition for a permanent injunction upon which such temporary restraining order has been issued should be heard by the court issuing the same within a reasonable time—say, not to exceed a week or thereabouts from the date when the order was issued.

1. to bring on oneself
2. bans

Answers

Question:

Lam argues that Americans' increasing awareness of the harmful effects of excessive consumption and waste production is cause for hope and celebration. True or False?

Answer:

The assertion above is False

Explanation:

What Andrew Lam (that Author) is trying to say is that Americans still want to eat their cake and have it as far as waste and consumption is concerned.

He lays his argument on the background that he and his family once fed off food that was condemned to be wasted by supermarkets.

According to Lam, the consumerism is still a very strong American habit.

Answer:

E. It establishes the conventional view about whether babies dream in order to show how the argument of the passage departs from this understanding.

Explanation:

Answer E

Correct. The function of the second paragraph is to establish the conventional view that babies must dream because they experience REM sleep. It is important to explain this position because it helps readers understand how the passage’s argument—that babies probably do not dream because their brains are occupied with other activities and lack the capacity for visual imagination—relates to other points of view on the topic.
