From revolution 2.0, lines 40-62, what is a fact the author includes as evidence to support his claim? what is one statistic the author includes as evidence? how does this evidence help to clarify the reasons stated in lines 30-39?

Fact: State Security clearance was required for government appointments

Statistics :  40% of Egyptians lived below the poverty line.

Explanation:

Revolution 2.0 is a chronological record of the uprising that occurred in Egypt in Jan 2011. The uprising led to the toppling of the then government led by Hosni Mubarak.

The fact used as evidence was that state security approval was sought and granted before anyone could hold any senior position in government or politics. The government achieved this by keeping a dossier - a record of activities- on everyone considered a threat or an activist, which was used to blackmail them in case they decided to raise a dissenting voice.

This control measure was used to ensure that no one in senior position of authority would had enough clout to lead a revolt or revolution.

The statistics was that 40% of Egyptians lived below the poverty line. Hence poverty was used as a weapon in oppressing and  subjugating the people.

hey there!

the reasoning behind university’s having students create prompts is to mainly get to know the person better. they want to know their interests, goals, personality,

it’s also a good way for the university to see the persons focuses in life. for example, if someone’s room is very organized and clean, usually all aspects of their life are the same.

so really, having people prompting to apply to a university is so the college can get more information about that person.

hope this you! if you need any more details, i’d be happy to
