During this time in history, gays and lesbians were discriminated and arrested by the government and people. Being gay or lesbian was once labeled a mental issue. Even during one of the world wars when the American forces were trying to figure out German transmissions, a gay scientist was put in jail even after figuring out German transmissions.


  It could be either B or C. But it's more likely B since not many were arrested.

How did the transportation revolution affect migration patterns in the United States?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

A chain of paths, waterways, and railways was built.

Explanation:

Stream travel has several benefits over carriage and horse driving, remarkable examples were that the trip was a lot quieter, and explorers could store their goods on barfs if they were traveling downstream. The Erie Canal, onward with other canals, executed it a lot inexpensive to carry goods. At first, engines were towed by horses until the first steam-powered engine began running. The opening of railroads supported for grain livestock, and farm goods to flow straight from the Midwest to East. The railroads further created the four time zones, because of the required time affinity for areas in railroad moving.

What is the definition of exclusive language?
Serga [27]
The definition of exclusive language is C. "Exclusive language is words that exclude various groups of people." The word "exclusive" means to exclude something or someone. A person can use exclusive language to exclude someone and make them feel rejected, not valued or not part of a group of people or society. Exclusive language is often used to discriminate against people because of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or education levels. Words are powerful and we need to be careful how we use them.
