Answer: YES: We do need legal immigrants in two sectors: 1) At the lower-skilled level, such as crop harvesters, hotel staff, and jobs Americans do not want, and then at 2) the highest skill levels in the area of programmers, engineers and other hard sciences where we have huge unfilled demand and an insufficient domestic supply. Our economy is losing out to Canada where high tech firms have started to migrate as a result of more enlightened and welcoming immigration policies.
When immigrants are highly skilled and hard-working they help make all of us more productive. The taxes they pay are critical for keeping Social Security and Medicare funded. Foreign-born scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs are very important for helping America remain a world leader in technology and innovation. But America let in low-skilled immigrants at a faster pace than the economy could absorb, which depressed wages for the lowest-paying jobs.

(1) When I was little, Grandma always played with me. (2) She taught me how to dance, and she made beautiful clothes for my dolls. (3) She was my special friend, but I had no idea just how special until I was in ninth grade.

(12) That Friday night at dinner, Grandma seemed unusually cheerful as she asked, “What’s cooking, Natalie?” (13) When I replied, “Not much,” she sang out, like a happy little bird, “Oh, Natalie! I have a surprise,” and reached under the table to pull out a huge, flat box. (14) When I opened it, I gasped and burst into tears. (15) Grandma had made my “perfect” dress! (16) When I looked over, I saw that she was crying, too. (17) "I'm sorry," she said, now laughing. (18) "I was so worried it wouldn't be what you hoped for," she said.

Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" contain a collection of tales told by the pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The Monk's tale is one among the others who were made to tell stories so as to pass the time.
In Monk's tale, the theme focus on how fortune affects a man's life. The fickleness of fortune, the temporary nature of its generosity and interest in a man is what the monk wants to warn the others. And in his tale, the Monk reveals that one trait of Fortune is that she whimsically supports and then changes her mind about the person she favors without no warning. He states "whan that Fortune list to flee, / Ther may no man the cours of hire withholde. / Lat no man truste on blynd prosperitee".
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
Answer:
B. She whimsically changes her mind about whom she supports.
