The correct answer is A) He was named acting president.
Vladimir Putin first became president of Russia when he was named acting president.
On December 31, 1999, Russian President Boris Yeltsin resigned and chose Vladimir Putin as his successor. Russian government organized elections three months later after Yeltsin's resignation. So in the Presidential elections of March 2000, Vladimir Putin was declared the winner. He easily defeated his rival Gennady Zyuganov, who at that time was the leader of the strong Communist Party.
Since that election, Putin has been reelected many times and he is the absolute leader of Russia and one of the most powerful leaders of the world.

Answer:
By January 1776, the American colonies were in open rebellion against Britain. Their soldiers had captured Fort Ticonderoga, besieged Boston, fortified New York City, and invaded Canada. Yet few dared voice what most knew was true — they were no longer fighting for their rights as British subjects. They weren’t fighting for self-defense, or protection of their property, or to force Britain to the negotiating table. They were fighting for independence. It took a hard jolt to move Americans from professed loyalty to declared rebellion, and it came in large part from Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.

He is credited with turning the tide of public opinion at a crucial juncture, convincing many Americans that war for independence was the only option to take, and they had to take it now, or else.Thomas Paine’s Common Sense appeared as a pamphlet for sale in Philadelphia on January 10, 1776, and, as we say today, it went viral. The first printing sold out in two weeks and over 150,000 copies were sold throughout America and Europe. It is estimated that one fifth of Americans read the pamphlet or heard it read aloud in public. General Washington ordered it read to his troops. Within weeks, it seemed, reconciliation with Britain had gone from an honorable goal to a cowardly betrayal, while independence became the rallying cry of united Patriots
