The answer is like the second choice, “Africa’s river systems made it easy for Europeans to reach the the African interior”. We can determine this is correct by cancelling out the other options.
1- yes, Africa WAS rich in natural resources, but the Europeans did not care much for that. They had come to Africa for trade and slaves.
3- similar to A, the Europeans weren’t there because they were running out of space, yes they did conquer and claim lands in Africa, but the purpose of them being there was goods.
4- a lot like C, but not very relevant at all, especially since at this time the Europeans who were traveling definitely did not farm, they wanted their goods already prepared.
Since the other options have been ruled out, I will explain 2 a little bit. Obviously, the Europeans had sailed to Africa. At first the remained on the edges of it, taking over ports and just sailing along picking up slaves and continuing west. A good example of an African river used by the Europeans is the Congo River. It branches out throughout all of Congo and it’s historical importance is that an explorer named Henry Morton Stanley used it to continue into Africa. Though he may not sound familiar, we’ve all heard the phrase “Doctor Livingstone, I presume”. It was Stanley who said this once meeting with him.
Answer:
1. Health Care.
2. Defense.
3. Interest Payments.
4. Social Security.
5. Medicare.
Explanation:
1 ) <u>Health Care: </u>There are no costs to escape from health care. And interestingly enough, just as much of the tax bill goes to the services of health care as it does to the military. Medicaid, the government's health insurance program for the poor, is supported by about 45%. The rest fund things such as the Children's Health Insurance Program and programs for consumer health.
2 ) <u>Defense:</u> Spending on the military and national defense consumes 15% of the national budget. It's important to note, too, that this doesn't count spending on veterans benefits. Our defense spending has increased since 2000. Although spending took a downturn under President Barack Obama, President Donald Trump has signaled he wants to boost it significantly in coming years.
3 ) <u>Interest Payments</u>: This is simply the cost of maintaining our national debt that we end up paying. National debt is always a topic for discussion, and it has risen dramatically with the volatile times over the past few decades.
4 ) <u>Social Security</u>: Social Security investment was, by a long shot, the federal government's single biggest expense. Government spending on social security is consuming about a quarter of the entire federal budget, according to Pew Research.
5 ) <u>Medicare</u>: Medicare eats up a significant portion of the federal budget at 15%. This is one of those health care-related expenditures expected to continue ballooning in coming years— and one that will require some type of reform to fix. Medicare is, of course, incredibly important for a huge portion of the American population, so it's not as easy as making draconian cuts.
The answer to this question is <span>The students' expectations about the rats' performance influenced their observations and behaviors
When the students heard a term/label imposed to a subject/object, we will initially expect that subject/object act according to their labels.
Another example would be, when someone tell you that a bread is poisonous, you will automatically expect whoever eat that bread to start choking or vomiting blood.</span>
The best answer is: <span>D. therefore, consequently
.
</span>The word "therefore" suggests a connection between a cause and an effect. For example: It rains, therefore I am wet.
Similarly "consequently" marks an effect, which means that it can be a signal for cause and effect clause. For example: I didn't study. Consequently, I failed.
I would think instead he would be classified as a hardy.
