Read the following excerpt from President Harry Truman's radio address to the American people on August 9, 1945. Which two lines

imply that the use of the atomic bomb by the Allies was a lesser evil compared to its use by the Axis powers? I realize the tragic significance of the atomic bomb. Its production and its use were not lightly undertaken by this Government. But we knew that our enemies were on the search for it. We know now how close they were to finding it. And we knew the disaster, which would come to this Nation, and to all peace-loving nations, to all civilization, if they had found it first. That is why we felt compelled to undertake the long and uncertain and costly labor of discovery and production. We won the race of discovery against the Germans. Having found the bomb we have used it. We have used it against those who attacked us without warning at Pearl Harbor, against those who have starved and beaten and executed American prisoners of war, against those who have abandoned all pretense of obeying international laws of warfare. We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan's power to make war. Only a Japanese surrender will stop us.

The lines which imply the use of the atomic bomb by the Allies was a lesser evil compared to its use by the Axis powers are these:

  • We knew that our enemies were on the search for it. We know now how close they were to finding it. And we knew the disaster, which would come to this Nation, and to all peace-loving nations, to all civilization, if they had found it first.

President Truman realized the horrific devastation the atomic bomb had the ability to cause.  But he stated his purpose in using it as one to "shorten the agony of war" and "save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans."   He believed that if the Axis powers were allowed to continue, they would only continue to bring war and further devastation to the world.

Which two classes of people would historians most likely thank for leaving written records of early civilization?
Neko [114]
<span>Historians would probably credit SCRIBES AND PRIESTS. The reason why is that scribes manually wrote every single book there was - they had to rewrite thousands of pages from manuscripts, and they were the original 'printing machines.' On the other hand, priests saved all those books in churches and libraries, which is why we still have records of ancient times.</span>

The quantity supplied of a product is the quantity that producers will bring to the market at a given _____
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Answer: C

Explanation:Equilibrium is achieved in a market when the quantity demanded is equal to quantity supplied. When these two variables are equal, then the market price is equal to equilibrium price.

When quantity demanded is more than quantity supplied, there will be excess demand and deficit in supply. In this case, the market price will increase till equilibrium is achieved.

Similarly, when there is excess of supply, then the price will fall till it reaches equilibrium.
