Here is what I found:
he Foraker Act, Pub.L. 56–191, 31 Stat. 77, enacted April 12, 1900, officially known as the <span>Organic Act of 1900</span>, is a United States federal law that established civilian (albeit limited popular) government on the island of Puerto Rico, which had recently become a possession of the United States as a result of the Spanish–American War. Section VII of the Foraker Act also established Puerto Rican citizenship.[1] President William McKinley signed the act on April 12, 1900[2] and it became known as the Foraker Act after its sponsor, Ohio Senator Joseph B. Foraker. Its main author has been identified as Secretary of War Elihu Root.

The new government had a governor and an 11-member executive council appointed by the President of the United States, a House of Representatives with 35 elected members, a judicial system with a Supreme Court and a United States District Court, and a non-voting Resident Commissioner in Congress. The Executive council was all appointed: five individuals were selected from Puerto Rico residents while the rest were from those in top cabinet positions, including attorney general and chief of police (also appointed by the President). The Insular Supreme Court was also appointed. In addition, all federal laws of the United States were to be in effect on the island. The first civil governor of the island under the Foraker Act was Charles H. Allen, inaugurated on May 1, 1900 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This law was superseded in 1917 by the Jones–Shafroth Act.

Which of the following is not a fossil? imprint of an invertebrate shell in a mudstone a tooth from an early man site in a lake
eduard

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

The shells of invertebrates are often embedded in the mudstone rocks and are found in the present days. These imprints are formed when these organisms moved from one place to another and are covered with sediments, forming fossil imprints.

Teeth are considered as fossils because they undergo the permineralization process, in the absence of oxygen and decomposers.

Mummified sloths were the mammal that existed in the geological past, and their fossils are still found at some places (including caves) on earth. The sediments played a key role in covering the organisms preventing the oxygen-rich environment and from getting decomposed.

Thus, all of these are fossils, so option (4) is the correct answer.

Compare and contrast the physical descriptions of David and Goliath
ExtremeBDS [4]

Goliath, according to the biblical account, was a giant soldier from the city of Gath and champion of the Philistine army, who besieged the armies of Israel for forty days. Goliath was extraordinarily high for the average even by today's standards. The writings cipher his height in six elbows and one span (2.9 m). His copper mail coat weighed 5,000 shekels (57 kg), and the iron blade of his spear was 600 shekels (6.8 kg). He was one of the Refaim, and he may have been a mercenary soldier in the Philistine army. It is necessary to note that the height described in the Bible about Goliath is approximately 2.90 meters.

In the Bible David is considered a just, brave, passionate king; warrior, musician and poet, not exempt from sins. According to the Bible, he was chosen by God in person to govern Israel. The Bible does not specify a description of David's physique, but if he is described as the youngest of a group of brothers, he was a pastor and when it came to fighting Goliath, he was so small that the king's armor slid down his body .

Explain moral superiority for European imperialism
Maurinko [17]

After a period of industrial spike in Europe, most Europeans now had access to a vast amount of technological advantages. For example, not just factory machinery, but militaristic weapons and artillery. (Cannons and machine guns) As Winston Churchill once wrote, the use of these advancements in an effort to subdue all underdeveloped and what they would consider primitive masses, was a good exercise of rights. Many imperialists believed that they could conquer any area by force because they had the opportunity to, and they did not realize how unethical the actions truly were. This would be considered ethnocentric or ethnocentrism, which is possessing a sense of cultural superiority as you may know from global history. I hope that helps!
