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.

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.

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.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

B) The GDP will increase because Nigeria will be able to produce more oil

Explanation:

The introduction of a new technology would result in an increase in the volume of crude oil being produced by the nation. This in turn will improve the net exports of the government which would increase the gross domestic product of the country.

Gross domestic product is the total market value of the goods and services produced by a country within a specified period. It is calculated by summing up consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports.

How has flooding and the overflow of Louisiana’s rivers impacted the state over time? (1) It has allowed Louisiana to enjoy grea
Natali [406]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Los Angeles flood of 1938 was one of the largest floods in the history of Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside Counties in southern California. The flood was caused by two Pacific storms that swept across the Los Angeles Basin in February-March 1938 and generated almost one year's worth of precipitation in just a few days. Between 113–115 people were killed by the flooding.[1] The Los Angeles, San Gabriel and Santa Ana Rivers burst their banks, inundating much of the coastal plain, the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys, and the Inland Empire. Flood control structures spared parts of Los Angeles County from destruction, while Orange and Riverside Counties experienced more damage.[1]

The flood of 1938 is considered a 50-year flood.[2] It caused $78 million of damage ($1.42 billion in 2019 dollars),[2] making it one of the costliest natural disasters in Los Angeles' history.[3] In response to the floods, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies began to channelize local streams in concrete, and built many new flood control dams and debris basins. These works have been instrumental in protecting Southern California from subsequent flooding events, such as in 1969 and 2005, which both had a larger volume than the 1938 flood.[3]

What was the three-fifths compromise?
Finger [1]
Your answer is D. A slave would count as three-fifths of a person when counting population for representation, because this was important, as this population number would then be used to determine the number of seats that the state would have in the United States House of Representatives for the next ten years.

Some of the delegates to the Convention said that they were exceeding their authority in writing the Constitution. Why did they
qaws [65]
The correct answer here would be C. The usual story goes that Confederation Congress only assigned them to propose the amendments to the Articles but instead they created an entirely new document. This is their reason, among others but none of them are correct as the Convention did not exceed its authority. The Confederation Congress for one was not a government in the true sense of the word. It was more an alliance like NATO. The convention was a also a meeting about just more than the Articles. The convention was beyond the Congress and its opinion was nothing more than that, just an opinion. Furthermore all 13 states ratified the Constitution. So no the Convention did not exceed its authority.
