Out of all given choices, “Relative dating depends on the use of radioactive isotopes to give exact ages of layers” the statement is not true of relative dating.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Relative dating is the determination of sequencing the events in a relative order of past with giving reference to any age information regarding the event. For example, dating with help of rock layer sequencing, using index fossils or any layer of sequenced sedimentation. Therefore, absolute or exact age determination is not an essential of relative dating.

All the other three options as given are true statements for the relative dating. The option D is incorrect statement because of the fact that relative dating does not talks about the determination of exact ages in any aspect. Like, Option A is correct as using rock layering sequence is one of the method of relative dating.

Following the era of the French Revolution (1789-1799), France A) rid itself of monarchy forever. B) avoided any type of social
DiKsa [7]

The correct answer is D.

After the French Revolution era, the Directory was overthrown by Napoleon Bonaparte on 9 November 1799. Following this, Napoleon Bonaparte became an absolute ruler of France and in 1804 he was granted the title of Emperor of the French. Under his government, France was involved in several wars -known as the Napoleonic wars- against European powers where he wanted to export the revolution and extend his dominion.

Within France class struggles continued, as the government started persecuting the Monarchists, who wanted to re-establish the old monarchy and the Republicans who were against Napoleon and wanted to re-establish the Republic. Class conflicts continued in France for many decades after Napoleon was overthrown in 1815.
