Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

The Mercator projection is usually defined as the cylindrical map projection that is mainly used for the purpose of navigation while traveling in the vast oceans. The main drawback of using this map projection is that the size of the objects gets distorted as the latitude increases from the equator to the polar regions.  

This map projection is very commonly used for navigation purposes as any straight line that is drawn on it remains a line of constant and true bearings. This means that the angles are perfect and it does not show any error, due to which this chart is suitable for navigation in the oceans.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

During the Jim Crow era a lot of white people would use hate speech and just be mean to African Americans all the time. By keeping them separate, African Americans wouldn’t be harassed by them. However there shouldn’t be segregation because people shouldn’t be practicing hate speech. Segregation wouldn’t be tackling the problem, it would be deflecting it.
