Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

Here, Speed of light= 3\times10^5 Km/sec

Distance= 1.5\times10^8 Km

We know that,

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

\implies Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}

Time=\frac{1.5\times10^8}{3\times 10^5}

=0.5 \times10^3

=500 sec

=8 minutes 20 sec

Hence, the correct answer is option (4) i.e 8 minutes.

Match the drawback of each historical source to its correct historical record type.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Photograph: bird's eye view of a site; interview: personal analysis and biased; tax records: limited accessibility; biography: unreliability of human memory.

Explanation:

There are generally always some drawbacks when considering different sources of historical information and a good researcher has to take these factors into account. Photographs are limited because they give you very little context. Interviews can be limiting because you get a personal view from just one individual. Tax records are likely protected due to privacy concerns and statutes. Biography can have drawbacks as well because the person may embellish past events or overemphasize the significance or attribute meaning in ways that are not entirely truthful or objective.

What thoughts come to your mind when you read “The Hill We Climb”?
solong [7]

Answer:

At some point in the not-so-distant future, whites will become the racial minority in the United States. Why is that so terrifying to some of us — why must we see it as a win-lose? Black culture, tempered in the fires of slavery and Jim Crow and by myriad forms of rural and urban, Southern and Northern, discrimination, has deeply enriched our national life. In the face of repeated exclusion and abuse, Blacks have chosen to keep faith with the core promises of our Constitution. Their leaders, like the late John Lewis, are therefore in a position to make what Lewis called “good trouble” — holding our collective feet ever closer to the fire of our professed principles. Ms. Gorman will be of legal age to run for president in 2033. If I’m still around, I would joyfully vote to put myself in her capable hands.
