<span>C.Portugal had established a colony in Brazil in the past. In other words, while much of the remainder of Latin America was conquered by the Spaniards, Brazil was conquered by the Portuguese. Portugal was also a colonial power, while not as strong a one as Spain, it also developed colonies in Africa.</span>

Answer:

C. Portugal had established a colony in Brazil in the past.

Explanation:

   The Portuguese language arrived on Brazilian territory aboard Portuguese ships in the 16th century to join the Tupi-Guarani language family, especially Tupinambá, one of the Tupi dialects. The Indians, subjugated or acculturated, taught the dialect to Europeans who later began to communicate in this “general language” - Tupinambá. In 1694, the general language reigned in the then Portuguese colony, with characteristics of literary language, as the missionaries translated sacred pieces, prayers and hymns into catechesis.

   With the arrival of the Yoruba language (Nigeria) and Quimbundo (Angola), through slaves brought from Africa, and with new settlers, the Portuguese Court wanted to ensure a greater political presence. One of the first measures he adopted, then, was to oblige the teaching of the Portuguese language to the Indigenous.

   In 1759, a charter extended the Directory Law: it made the use of Portuguese as an official language mandatory throughout the Brazilian territory. Therefore, over two centuries, Brazil obliterated the tupinambá for the benefit of Portuguese.

Most of the time in the atmosphere, the upward-directed pressure gradient force is exceeded by the downward pull of gravity.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Ture

Explanation:

  • The pressure gradient is the force that is produced due to the rotation of earth pressure cells that creates lighter air to move upwards and heavier to move downwards due to the difference in densities of air.
  • As the air above consists of lighter elements the oceanic air mostly consist of diatomic molecules of oxygen and nitrogen thus containing a large amount of water vapor, all these molecules have a mass that are pulled down by the gravity and this pull of gravity on columns of gas applies a force what we see an atmospheric pressure.
  • The gas particles and molecules of heavy and denser matter get stuck at the ground, similarly, as the air cools is descends and warm air rises. Thus upwards and downward motion of air causes convergence and divergence of molecules.
