Hi!
The central idea of the metaphor was that the people in the lifeboat are the rich nations, whereas those that are drowning are the poor nations.
This metaphor is known as lifeboat ethics, and is used to illustrate the distribution of resources.
The metaphor depicts a lifeboat which is boarded by 50 people (the wealthy nations), and 100 people swimming in the surrounding water at risk of drowning. The 'ethical issue' is stirred by the fact that there is room for 10 more people on this lifeboat, and if the surrounding people should be taken aboard -and if so, what would be the conditions of such an act.
Hope this helps!
I think it's called a merit system after the spoils system but I'm not 100% sure
The one of the reason's why the Allies allied themselves with the soviets was because they wanted to open a new front. The Soviet Front would be so massive and would force Axis's units to spread even more, and to spread resources more. Though they were already spread out.
Liberty bonds where war bonds. Sold in the United States, it became a symbol of patriotic duty and supported the Allies during World War I. To put it simply, people purchased the bonds from the government and the money went to the war effort.
I hope this helps! :)
The answer is the first one.
