Answer:

Positive

Killed regardless

Explanation:

A market for cats would have had a <u>positive</u> externality because the cats <u>killed rats regardless.</u>

Rats are considered to be found everywhere, from roadsides to kitchens in the households. Since rats in reality were the primary cause of spreading the plague known as the The Black Death, people would be positively influenced to get more cats because they are the natural predators of rats.

The more the cats, the less would be the rats and therefore less possibility of the plague getting spread.

Answer:

A market for cats would have had a positive externality.

Because the cats would kill the rats on sight since that is their natural behavior.

However, it is interesting to mention, that the cat's killing has been more of a "mythic" aspect of this story, since it fails to take into account that since the black death was caused by the<em> yersinia pestis</em> bacteria, cats could have been also infected, and since their interactions with humans are greater than rats or fleas, the real outcome could have been totally unexpected.

How is the Pacific region similar to the Northeast?
Zarrin [17]

Answer: The Pacific Northwest (PNW), sometimes referred to as Cascadia,[1] is a geographic region in western North America bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and, loosely, by the Rocky Mountains to the east. Though no official boundary exists, the most common conception includes the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC) and the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Broader conceptions reach north into Southeast Alaska and Yukon, south into northern California, and east to the Continental Divide to include Western Montana and parts of Wyoming. Narrower conceptions may be limited to the coastal areas west of the Cascade and Coast mountains. The variety of definitions can be attributed to partially overlapping commonalities of the region's history, culture, geography, society, and other factors.

vichka [17]

The advantage with social media devices such as these is that they allow you to connect with people faster than ever.  Whether you post a message, upload a video or chat, it is all there.  It makes finding people easier.  It’s also a good alternative to a website to promote things.  The disadvantage  is that what you posts will be there for all to see. Your information can hacked and then there’s the issue of cyber-bullying and stalking.
