<span>It was passed in 1701 to resolve the issue of succession to the English and Irish thrones of the Electress Sophia of Hanover and her successors who are non-Catholics. This act was pressed by the inability of King Wiliam III and Queen Mary II as well as Queen Anne who was Mary’s sister to give birth to an heir.  Sophia’s line was Protestant her son became King George I and started the Hanoverian Dynasty. This happened after the death of Queen Anne in August 1714.  The act played an important role in the establishment of a King of Great Britain, England and Scotland that now had a shared ruler since 1603 but continued as individual governing countries.</span>

Which of the following is true of Spain's explorations of the New World?
klasskru [66]

Answer: b. Florida was the first region in the present-day continental United States that Spain colonized.

Explanation:

Florida or Spanish Florida as it was known, was the first territory claimed by a European power in North America.

It was much larger than the present state of Florida and included parts of present day Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Established by Juan Ponce de León for the Spanish crown, Spain found it particularly difficult as well as too unattractive to maintain a significant presence which led to the territory continually shrinking until it's authority in Florida barely extended out of the various ports that were established.

Which of the following events would most likely take place in an epic? A.The hero is briefly trapped by an enchantress B.The her
Scrat [10]
Well, an epic is a long poem, typically one derived from ancient oral tradition, narrating and adventures of a heroic figure (like Hercules, Beowulf) when you think of an epic just try to remember myths and legends. And with that, I do not think D or C are the answer just due to epics aren't making fun of their culture and the pov (point of view) doesn't change during an epic or story for that matter it gets confusing. Also with answer, A, not every epic has an enchantress so I believe B is the correct answer.
