ANSWER:

The statements that explain why New Orleans suffered extreme flooding as a result of Hurricane Katrina are B. Government agencies had no idea that the city’s levees were in need of repair and C. Half of all of New Orleans’s parishes were built at or below sea level.

Explanation: One of the effects of Hurricane Katrina, which formed in 2005, was the extreme flooding which took place in New Orleans. One of the reasons why the city suffered this flooding was because government agencies were not aware of the fact that New Orleans' levees needed to be repaired. Moreover, the fact that many New Orleans' parishes had been built at or below sea level was another factor that contributed to this extreme inundation. By August 31, 2005, 80% of New Orleans was flooded. Therefore, B. and C. are the correct answers.

Explain how the formation of a national culture led to infatuation of heroes in America?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

National Culture led to the infatuation of heroes in America by<em> influencing people in the form of movies, arts and write-ups. </em>

Explanation:

"National Culture" <em>refers to values, characteristics, beliefs, customs, etc. that people in a nation normally follows.</em> It becomes a standard that people share all-together. <u>It plays a vital role in shaping the nation, thus it influences the citizens in many ways.</u>

One of which, is the <em>infatuation of heroes in America. </em>This could either be the classic heroes or the modern fictional heroes. It is probably in the 1920s that America became more concerned about having a national identity, since it was during this time that movies, artists and writers became very popular. The influence of these elements greatly affected the country's national culture. For example, in the film industry, heroes were given priority. Audiences were smitten by the existence of heroes in America. This became a norm that influenced a national stereotype that "heroes are always good" and people greatly believed in it.

Such formation had a huge impact on the culture of America.
