The opportunity cost for the Congo to produce additional diamonds is <u>C. 4 thousand units of corn</u>.

<h3>What are opportunity costs?</h3>

Opportunity costs are the benefits of an alternative decision when the decision maker rejects the alternative.

For instance, the opportunity cost of going to college is the earnings forgone.

The opportunity cost is computed as the lost benefit when an alternative decision is not pursued.

Fractionally, the opportunity cost of producing one product A) to another (B) = Units of B / Units of A.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

United States opportunity cost to produce diamonds = 60/10 = 6

United States opportunity cost to produce corns = 10/60 = 1/6

Congo's opportunity cost to produce diamonds = 20/5 = 4

Congo's opportunity cost to produce corn = 5/20 = 1/4

Thus, the opportunity cost for the Congo to produce additional diamonds is <u>C. 4 thousand units of corn</u>.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

B) It was a major achievement when it was declared "separate but equal" was unconstitutional.

Explanation:

Prior to the Brown v. the Board of Education Supreme Court case in 1954, there was a a doctrine in American Constitution law known as "separate but equal". This doctrine allowed people to be segregated by race in public facilities such as schools, trains and bars, as long as the quality of service remained the same.

The Supreme Court in the Brown v. the Board of Education case, ruled that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”

Therefore, the "separate but equal" doctrine which supported black and white students attending different public schools, was rendered unconstitutional.

Before the Fifteenth Amendment was passed, which states refused African-Americans the right to vote?

mr_godi [17]

#1) Before the Fifteenth Amendment was passed, which states refused African-Americans the right to vote?
Answer: The answer is C:some northern and southern states. Once approved by the required two-thirds majorities in the House and Senate, the 15th Amendment had to be ratified by 28, or three-fourths, of the states. Due to the reconstruction laws, black male suffrage already existed in 11 Southern states. Since almost all of these states were controlled by Republican reconstruction governments, they could be counted on to ratify the 15th Amendment. Supporters of the 15th Amendment needed only 17 of the remaining 26 Northern and Western states in order to succeed. At this time, just nine of these states allowed the black man to vote. The struggle for and against ratification hung on what blacks and other political interests would do.
