The excerpt below was produced in 2013 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates and monitors food, medici

ne, and other products in the United States. Which of the following statements is an objective summary of the excerpt? Global production of FDA-regulated products has quadrupled over the last decade and continues to grow. Today, FDA-regulated products originate from more than 150 countries, 130,000 importers and 300,000 foreign facilities. Fifty percent of fresh fruits, 20 percent of vegetables, and 80 percent of seafood consumed in America comes from abroad. Similarly, 40 percent of finished drugs come from overseas, and 80 percent of active ingredients manufacturers are located outside the US. Further, half of all medical devices are imported. The growth in imports has been rapid and promises to accelerate.1 A. It is impossible for the FDA to effectively monitor the huge amount of food Americans import each year. B. The FDA is doing an excellent job of regulating America's imported meat, produce, and medicine. C. Many Americans decide to import drugs from overseas because they are cheaper than in the U.S. D. A large percentage of the food and medicine Americans consume comes from foreign countries.

The correct answer is the following: <em>option D. An objective summary of the excerpt provided in the question is to say that a large percentage of the food and medicine Americans consume comes from foreign countries.</em>

The excerpt provides information about the percentage of different products that are imported into the United States every year. Option D is the most accurate summary of the excerpt, as it is the only objective summary from all the options available. The excerpt is not judging the work done by the FDA, if it has been done properly or not, but it is just stating the amount of imported products that the agency has monitored.

What were some horrors of the Second World War that resulted from this extreme nationalism and from authoritarianism?​
salantis [7]

Answer:

Looking back on history, we can often see patterns emerging just before dangerous or terrible events occurred. One example is the Holocaust during the Second World War. It's obvious to us—now—that the rise of authoritarianism, including fascism, was paving the way for leaders in many countries to command the obedience of whole populations, even when these leaders began to order the killing of civilians. We can see how Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and others began to attack journalists, control the flow of information, and stir up nationalism by persecuting ethnic minorities or invading desirable lands. In some ways, their actions were like experiments, pushing the boundaries of authoritarian rule to see what they could get away with. When nobody stopped them, they became bolder and more aggressive. This article details some of those experiments.

Explanation:

Hopefully this helps :)

1 Why did northerners disagree with southerners on the issue of tariffs?​
Masja [62]

Answer:

Tariffs protected Northerners factories from foreign competition because they made imported goods more expensive than American-made. Southerns depended on trading cotton in exchange for foreign goods. Rising tariffs hurt the South's economy.

According to the map, Yugoslavia is a cluster of several Baltic nations was a satellite nation of the United States after 1948 b
galben [10]
The best answer is "was not part of the Eastern Bloc",
although this answer is misleading. 

Yugoslavia was indeed part of the Eastern Bloc in the sense that it was an Eastern European communist country, but it was the only one that did not align itself with the USSR after 1948. It also did no ally with the United States, choosing non-alignment instead. 

This answer is the best answer simply because it is less false than the other answers, which are completely wrong. Yugoslavia never joined the USSR, choosing to split from Stalin in 1948, and never became a satellite nation of the US, and isn't located anywhere near the Baltic.
