History

The correct answer is C) The word in their own language for German was Deutsch, and it was misunderstood by English speakers.

German immigrants were referred to as the Pennsylvania Dutch because the word in their own language for German was Deutsch, and it was misunderstood by English speakers. In the beginning, it is obvious to think that American people already settled in the Pennsylvanian territories had confused the word "Deutsch" with the word "Dutch." Historians supposed that Germans corrected the Americans once and twice, but in the end, they accepted being called Pennsylvania Dutch instead of Pennsylvania Germans.

From prehistory to 2000AD, human population growth can best be described as
xeze [42]

Answer:

increasing

Explanation:

Since the prehistory and up until the present, the human population has constantly increased. The increase of the population though has not been always the same, with the earlier periods having much slower increase, while the rapid growth occurs only few centuries ago. The reasons for this difference in the population growth is that up until relatively recently, the humans didn't had proper medical treatment, they were constantly in war, the living conditions were very bad, and the humans were still deeply connected with the nature, thus every larger animal possessed a death threat. As the humans have developed, the living conditions have become much better, the medicine has helped in curing and prevention of diseases, and the humans have also isolated themselves from the nature, resulting in much higher life expectancy, better life quality, and much less infant deaths.
