Answer:
The final straw came when Great Britain shared the intercepted Zimmermann Telegram with the United States, revealing that Germany had promised American territory to Mexico in return for attacking the U.S. if it entered the war.
Explanation:
The British informed Wilson that the Entente was about to win the war, and warned him that he (Wilson, personally) would not have a seat at the peace conference unless the US entered the war. Since Wilson desperately wanted to be in on that conference, as that way he could dazzle everyone with his brilliance and convince them all to agree to set up his utopian society, he determined to con Congress into declaring war on Germany. Submarine warefare (which was fundamentally no different from the mainly-British naval blockade) and the lunatic Zimmerman telegram were just Wilson's excuses.
The US was not “forced" to enter WW1 in any way.
Once the US already had declared war the British gave Wilson the bad news: the Entente was actually about to lose, due to going broke. The US ended up financing the rest of the Entente side of the war, and the main Entente nations (Britain and France) defaulted on their war debts in 1930 and then laughed at “Uncle Shylock.”
Wilson was shocked that no one at the peace conference paid any attention to his nonsense. They did establish a “League of Nations,” but only as a way of enforcing colonialism.
The US entered WW1 entirely due to Wilson's delusions.
Answer:
Cuneiform was used as a form of record-keeping and it was picked up by the speakers of different languages. This helped to perpetuate it across different cultures. Today it is largely preserved on stone tablets whereas other exemplars of early languages were kept on more perishable materials like leather or papyrus.
Explanation:
Cuneiform was a language that many societies in the Ancient Near East had in common. The cuneiform style was so dominant that scholars have said that it is the script for the first half of recorded history. Even to this day, cuneiform tablets survive in great abundance. The cuneiform script was not in itself a language. Scribes from different cultures could decipher and use it to convey information in a number of languages and not just ancient Sumerian. Among them is the Semitic language Akkadian which was the lingua franca of the Assyrian Empire and for the Babylonians. The Rosetta Stone equivalent for cuneiform is Bisitun Pass in Iran. There there are inscriptions recorded in Persian, Akkadian, and an Iranian language known as Elamite. This allowed researchers to decipher repetitive words across the different languages like “Darius” and “king” and so they could eventually piece together the information that cuneiform conveyed.

Answer:
Less-lethal weapons.
Explanation:
Less-Lethal weapons are those weapons that are less likely to kill any living being. They are less harmful than the conventional weapons. Less-lethal weapons are also known as non-lethal weapons, less-than lethal weapons, non-deadly weapons or pain-inducing weapons.
These weapons are used in the cases where using of lethal weapons is not permitted and to make the situation less chaotic.
Taser, as described above, is a weapon that is used to deliver electric shocks and thus do not possess the ability to kill a living being. So, it is a less-lethal weapon.
Thus, the correct answer is less-lethal weapon.
