The correct answer is B (but D could also work...)

Congress has two houses: the senate and the house of representatives. The Answer A, <span>president pro tempore of the Senate is wrong- this person is not even the most important person in senate, only the second most important. </span>In fact the highest person in the senate is the Vice President of the United States. On the other hand, the highest person in the house of representatives is the Speaker of the House. So we know it's either B or D.  Now, the question is tricky, as neither of the chambers of the senate is officially more importnat. Additionally vice-president is higher in the line to the succession to the President's office.

However, it is usually assumed that the Speaker represents the Congress as a whole, and that's why i'd go with B.

Describe the social changes associated with industrialization?
fgiga [73]
"These urban centers require the input of external energy sources in order to overcome the diminishing returns of agricultural consolidation, due partially to the lack of nearby arable land, associated transportation and storage costs, and are otherwise unsustainable. This makes the reliable availability of the needed energy resources a high priority in industrial government policies. Some theoreticians — namely Ulrich Beck, Anthony Giddens and Manuel Castells—argue that we are located in the middle of a transformation or transition from industrial societies to post-modern societies. The triggering technology for the change from an agricultural to an industrial organization was steam power, allowing mass production and reducing the agricultural work necessary. Thus many industrial cities are built on rivers. Identified as catalyst or trigger for the transition to post-modern or informational society is global information technology."
