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.

The Pennsylvania Dutch (Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch) are a cultural group formed by early German-speaking immigrants to Pennsylvania and their descendants. This early wave of settlers, which would eventually coalesce to form the Pennsylvania Dutch, began in the late 17th century and concluded in the late 18th century.

C. Hoover funded direct relief programs that created jobs for the unemployed.

Explanation:

Herbert Hoover was President of the United States between 1929-1933. He was business inclined and held office during the time of the Great Depression in America. This was a period of high unemployment, low profits in businesses and a decrease in economic growth. He made impacts in eradicating the Great Depression but it was all to no avail. Herbert created many programs, one of which was the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) to bring about relief to the economy's depression. He also established some trading polices.

Herbert played a great role in the Agricultural sector by approving the Agricultural Marketing Act to create consistency in the prices of farm produce. He loaned the farmers money to purchase food for their livestock.

He increased the Federal Budget to include the Health and protection of Children program.

Which of the small solar system bodies orbit the sun in only a few years or as many as hundreds of thousands of years

Temka [501]

Answer:

Comets go around the Sun in a highly elliptical orbit. They can spend hundreds and thousands of years out in the depths of the solar system before they return to Sun at their perihelion. Like all orbiting bodies, comets follow Kepler's Laws - the closer they are to the Sun, the faster they move.
