General McClellan’s Army of the Potomac tried to capture the Confederate capital, Richmond through the Peninsula Campaign.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

General George McClellan, the commander of the army of the Union had a not so clear plan of capturing the Confederate capital. In his attempt to do that, his troops successfully crossed the James River without much reluctance. Once they crossed it, they fought a small battle with a troop of the Confederate army and won.

The Union army troops were surprised by the minor resistance of the Confederate army. But soon after they won their first battle after crossing River James, they had to face a massive surprise attack from the troops led by General Johnston. At last, General McClellan lost this battle after heavy casualties on his side.

A patient who has suffered a small, localized injury to the brain and who, as a result, never feels hungry and must be forced to

Elena-2011 [213]

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

Hunger is regulated by the hypothalamus, which is a region located in the brain. Due to this, people with injuries in this zone might experience issues regulating their appetites such as lack of satisfaction after eating or lack of impulse to eat (hunger). Thus, if a patient does not feel hungry and experienced a brain injury, this is likely related to the hypothalamus. On the other hand, the thalamus, which is a different zone in the brain located above the hypothalamus regulates sensory impulses and movements but it is not related to appetite or hunger.

Jeremy's behavior is under pretty tight stimulus control.
Stimulus control refers to the fact that an individual will behave one way when presented with a particular stimulus, and behave completely differently when that stimulus is absent. In Jeremy's case, he avoids any interaction with that German shepherd, but he is not afraid of dogs in general.
