Answer:

 

In response to the devastation, the Red Cross immediately stepped in to provide medical aid to survivors. People from all over Texas donated food and supplies to the people of Galveston. The governor of Texas, Joseph D. Sayers, set up committees to collect funds to rebuild the city, and the Texas state legislature allowed the city to keep property tax revenues to use for rebuilding. When it came to rebuilding, the city reconsidered its government structure and it brought in experts in city planning and new technologies to help it rebuild. In an effort to protect it from further hurricane damage, the city built a 17-foot sea wall on the Gulf Coast side of the city and raised the city’s elevation 8 feet by importing sand.

"<span>The hurricane appears to have started as an atmospheric trough from West Africa, causing unsettled weather in the Caribbean, and emerging into the Florida Straits as a tropical storm on September 5. Owing to contradictory forecasts, the people of Galveston felt no alarm until the official hurricane warning of September 7. Next morning a storm surge of 15 ft (4.6 m) washed over the long, flat island-city which was only 8 ft (2.4 m) above sea level, knocking buildings off their foundations and destroying over 3,600 homes."</span>

To remember the face of a new person you have just met, you associate the new person's features with those of your best friend.
gayaneshka [121]

True

<span>Elaborative rehearsal refers to the process of remembering new information by linking it to previously learned information and making it meaningful in some way. </span>

<span>Using the mnemonic device “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles” to recall the planets of the solar system (Mars, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) by taking the first letter of each planet is an example of elaborative rehearsal. By linking the list of planets to other previously known information, one is more likely to remember the list of planets.  

Similarly, associating a newly met person's features with a previously known person's (your best friend's) features is an instance of elaborative rehearsal. </span>

Korvikt [17]

Answer:
