3. What is most closely the significance of the phrase "the late steamer Big Missouri worked and sweated in the sun" in the following passage (paragraph 29)?
Tom gave up the brush with reluctance in his face, but alacrity in his heart. And while the late steamer Big
Missouri worked and sweated in the sun, the retired artist sat on a barrel in the shade close by, dangled his
legs, munched his apple, and planned the slaughter of more innocents. There was no lack of material; boys
happened along every little while; they came to jeer, but remained to whitewash.
A. Ben is finding the fence job to be a lot easier than Tom did.
B. A steamboat coming down the Mississippi is running slow due to the heat.
C. Ben is no longer pretending to be a boat because he is now whitewashing the ferice.
D. Tom has taken over the role of captain on the Big Missouri.

no,

explanation:

because they are likely to use their corrupted thought process to get what they want. not what is better for the another reason they shouldn't is since they abused their rights as a us citizen they should have certain rights stripped away from them as punishment, such as the right to vote. due to the lack of proper behavior exemplified   from their actions , it would be hard for people to trust them because of their criminal record.   either directly (in the case of a referendum or ballot initiative) or indirectly (by choosing lawmakers and law enforcers). in fact, we do have certain minimum, objective standards of responsibility and commitment to our laws that we require people to meet before they are given a role in the solemn enterprise of self-government. people who have committed serious crimes against their fellow citizens don’t meet those standards. and those crimes can include such “non-violent felonies” as, say, treason and espionage, or voter fraud and public corruption, white-collar crime and felonies merely “concerning drugs” — like trafficking in fentanyl-laced heroin and selling it to minors, for example. if you’re not willing to follow the law, then you should not have a role in making the law for everyone else.
