Explanation:

• Question 12: Chamber pots were used before modern plumbing. Mentioning them would illustrate the lack of modern plumbing.
• Question 13: Clothing laws were often used to enforce social hierarchies (e.g., sumptuary laws). Emphasizing them would demonstrate how clothing reinforced a strict social hierarchy.
• Question 14: An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms. "Vibrant" (positive, lively) and "dangerous" (negative, risky) are contradictory, so this is an oxymoron.
• Question 15: "Resourceful" means being able to find ways to overcome difficulties, which aligns with "Good at using available resources creatively".

Answer:

1. To illustrate the lack of modern plumbing
2. To demonstrate how clothing reinforced a strict social hierarchy
3. an oxymoron
4. Good at using available resources creatively
