Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

The city of San Francisco has the highest possibility to be an epicenter of an earthquake. This city is directly related to the most famous and well known destructive fault which is commonly known as the San Andreas fault.

The San Andreas fault was initiated due to the formation of transform plate boundary. Here, the North American plate and the Pacific plate slide passes each other, resulting in the occurrence of shallow focus destructive earthquakes. The city of San Francisco is located just adjacent to this fault which forms the epicenter of the earthquakes that frequently occurs in these region.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

Write a paragraph that summarizes your position. In your paragraph, answer this question: Do you think the one-child policy had
Juli2301 [7.4K]
The policy, as expected with any authoritarian and centralized coverages, only brought benefit to the state. The one-child policy created despair in Chinese society, disallowing families to have a choice in the size of their family, and increased the amount of femicide in new-borns. The policy also brought further disadvantages to the society in current days, making the idea of families less predominant, as younger generations have been raised in families without siblings and have little to no developed ideas about the future that may cross their path. The state on the other hand raised further power over the people by controlling a traditionally important aspect of their lives, and created a more fearful and obedient generation.
