Asap! which of the following best describes attributes of naturalist novels? a) they defended the efficiency of big business. b) they argued for the establishment of national parks and forests. c) they encouraged social reform based on the teachings of the bible. d) they honestly portrayed human misery and the struggles of common people.

Yes, (a) is really the only one that goes along with the naturalism, which is the belief that all religious truth comes from nature or natural processes.   Naturalists would have opposed big business (b), not been overly concerned about (c), and would probably have rejected Biblical teaching.  

Hope this helps :)

Explanation:

the correct answer is:   "   3.6 % " .

          →   the unemployment rate is:   " 3.6 % " .

explanation:

to calculate the "unemployment rate" :

the "unemployment rate"   =

  [# of people unemployed] /   [working age population]   * 100 %   ;

                =   [9 million] / [250 million]     *   100 % ;

    →     note:   the units of "million" cancel out;

                    since:   " {million} / {million} = 1 " ;

                =   (9 / 250)   * 100 %   ;

                = 0.036 * 100 % ;

                =   3.6 %

answer:   the unemployment rate is:   " 3.6 % " .
