Answer: A. to isolate the city from the rest of the confederacy

The Battle of Atlanta was a Civil War battle, part of the Union's summer Atlanta Campaign. The battle occurred on July 22, with a decisive Union victory, but it would be another six weeks before Atlanta surrendered.

With the battle won, General Sherman established a siege of the city. On September 1st, he pulled out of the city, destroying supply depots as he left. The citizens surrendered the next day. Atlanta became Sherman's new headquarters, from which he launched his march to Savannah, known as the "March to the Sea," destroying everything in his path. Among the destruction, Atlanta's railroads suffered greatly, in an attempt to isolate the city from the rest of the Confederacy.

Gnom [1K]

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

A. response reinforcing

B. dissonance

C. balance

D. feedback

E. fear appeal

Answer:

In an attempt to use B. dissonance to convince people to stop smoking, government officials have proposed removing all brand identification from packs of cigarettes, replacing it with graphic images of damaged lungs and cancerous mouths.

Explanation:

It is natural for us to try to remain in a state of cognitive consistency in order to function mentally in the real world. Cognitive consistency is a state of harmony between our beliefs and our behaviors. On the other hand, <u>cognitive dissonance is the discomfort we feel when our beliefs and behaviors are not in harmony. That happens when we receive new information that goes against our previous belief.</u>

<u>By replacing brand identification with graphic images or damaged lungs, officials are trying to provoke cognitive dissonance in smokers</u>. Once they see the pictures and receive the information that smoking is the cause behind those diseases, they begin to question their own behavior. <u>Suddenly, smoking may feel less enjoyable, since they are aware that their actions are causing them to get sick.</u>
