In the line "Here once the embattled farmers stood and fired the shot heard around the world.", Hyperbole has been used.

Answer: B

Explanation:

The  given phrase is  apart of well-known poet Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous poem "Concord Hymn" which refers to the opening shot of the Battle of Concord in 1775.

With this Concord, American Revolutionary War began and led the creation of the United States of America. Emerson wanted to allude the sharp crack of the war that initiated the whole revolution and that's why emphasized it as "<em>Shot heard around the world</em>" which is a hyperbole.

During the trance dance, what is taken from the shaman's body and used as medicine?
Vesna [10]

During the trance dance, perspiration is taken from the shaman's body and used as medicine

In the San culture, which is an indigenous people of Botswana, Namibia, and Angola, healers use a variety of techniques, such as oral remedies made of plant and animal material, making cuts on the body and rubbing in 'potent' substances, inhaling smoke from smouldering organic matter like certain twigs or animal dung, and wearing animal parts or "jewellery" that "makes them strong." One of the most recognisably San cultural elements is the trance dance.

The San do "trance dances" or "healing dances," which are dances performed while they are in an altered state of consciousness. A whole night is spent in trance dancing rituals. Drums are sometimes used to communicate with animal and ancestor spirits, and people will occasionally tie offerings to the trees for the benefit of the spirits of various animals.

1.  The Treaty of Versailles, which came out of the Paris Peace Conference, was very punitive towards Germany.  Germany was forced to admit responsibility for causing the Great War (World War I) -- what we now call "the war guilt" clause of the treaty.  Germany also was forced to pay large reparation payments to the Allies (who opposed Germany in the war).   The German economy and national pride were deeply wounded.  The Great Depression was worse in Germany than in America.  The bad situation in Germany made it possible for a radical leader like Hitler, making all sorts of bold promises, to win over enough people to rise to power.

2.  The Paris Peace Conference did not give Arab peoples the full self-determination that Woodrow Wilson's "14 Points" ideas would have hoped.  They were placed under "mandate" governments, with European powers (Britain and France) serving in governing positions in the Middle East.  The history of many of today's issues in the Arab world as well as the Israel / Palestine conflict are rooted in what happened in the settlements and arrangements made after World War I.

Why did Texas colonists, like Stephen F Austin, object to the merger of Texas and Coahuila
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

These are the answer choices associated with the question:

A. Mexico feared Texas was becoming too powerful and they might lose control.

B. It prevented more empresarios from entering Texas and bringing colonists.

C. Slavery became illegal throughout Coahuila and all of Mexico

D. The location of the state capital was too far away for Texans to participate in government.

And this is the correct answer:

C. Slavery became illegal throughout Coahuila and all of Mexico

Explanation:

Texas colonists from the United States, like Stephen F Austin, mostly came from the Deep South (with many others coming from Appalachia), and because of this, they wanted to expand the plantation economy of the Deep South in Eastern Texas, and for that, they needed slaves.

However, slavery had become illegal in Mexico, and this is the main reason why they opposed the Union of Coahuila and Texas. Their main goal was to make Texas an independent nation, and then, to ask for annexation with the United States.
