Answer:

B. Grant had been successful in every enterprise he had undertaken in his life.

Explanation:

Ulysses S. Grant was the commander-in-chief of the United States Army at the end of the Civil War (between 1864 and 1865) and the 18th President of the United States (1869-1877). As commanding general, he worked closely with President Abraham Lincoln leading the Union Army until victory over the Confederate side. With the support of Congress, he implemented Reconstruction, often at odds with President Andrew Johnson. Elected twice as president, he led the Republicans in their effort to eradicate the vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery, protected African-American citizenship and fostered economic prosperity. Although the eight years of his presidency have been criticized at times for numerous scandals in the administration and for his inability to alleviate the economic depression after the Panic of 1873, he is recognized as a president who governed relatively well in his historical context and who pursued the Justice for all.

The population of many industrialized countries is on which path?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Aging populations

Explanation:

The industrialized countries are facing a big demographic problem in the past few decades. The problem is the aging population. The living conditions in this countries are the best in the world, so they have high life expectancy, and while that is good, a problem occurs because the birthrates are very low. The birthrates are so low that they can not even simply sustain the same number of the population. This situation leads to fewer and fewer young people, and more and more elderly people, so the population pyramid is becoming wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

Select the correct text in the passage.
JulijaS [17]

<u>This portion of the text shows Hobbes supported an absolute ruler:</u>

  • <em>Men are continually in competition for honour and dignity . . . and consequently amongst men there ariseth on that ground, envy, and hatred, and finally war. ... No wonder if there be somewhat else required, besides [contract], to make their agreement constant and lasting; which is a common power to keep them in awe and to direct their actions to the common benefit. </em>
  • <em> The only way to erect such a common power, as may be able to defend them from the invasion of foreigners, and the injuries of one another . . . is to confer all their power and strength upon one man, or upon one assembly of men, that may reduce all their wills, by plurality of voices, unto one will.</em>

Further detail:

Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called Leviathan in 1651.  The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast.  Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society.  In Hobbes' view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast).    Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests.  So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen.  And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.

zhenek [66]

The correct answer <em>is a Terrace</em>.

A farmer living on the edge of a steep mountain that would like to increase the number of crops he can grow, can build a terrace, one Inca advancement that could be of the most use for him.

The region of the Andes is a place where the tallest and difficult to access mountains exist. However, the Incas developed intelligent ways to harvest crops to take advantage of the steepest areas in the high mountains. They built terraces, cisterns and irrigation canals in the form of “s” or snakes in the slopes to angled down around the hills and mountains. The terraces covered thousands of hectares in ancient Peru, where Incas grew potatoes and corn.
