What are your answer choices
Your answer is D. Congress would not admit the Cherokee state into the union.
Answer:
The Tigris and Euphrates rivers made it possible to grow wheat on the arid Mesopotamian plains, but the dry climate eventually defeated human engineering. Irrigation brought water to fields faster than it could drain out. As salt-rich groundwater rose and surface water evaporated, mineral salts built up in the soils. Farmers switched to more salt-tolerant grains like barley, but the harder they farmed, the less they harvested. After about 2,000 years, the once-fertile land of southern Mesopotamia was barren.
Explanation:
On a cloudy morning at the airport in Juba, the capital of Southern Sudan, a long motorcade of white Land Cruisers is lined up on a battered runway, motors idling. Secret Service agents listening stoically to their earpieces, clusters of soldiers in camo fatigues, tall Sudanese dignitaries in dusty suits we’ve all been waiting out on the tarmac since well before nine, checking the sky. Jimmy Carter likes to say, “I have a fetish about being late,” and even here, halfway across the world, everyone knows that showing up early to see him arrive precisely on schedule is part of the experience, like watching Clinton eat a cheeseburger or Bush clear some brush.
There is also something distinctly Carter about the choice of destination. Southern Sudan is seeking independence from the North, but after five decades of on-again, off-again civil war, the country has been so traumatized by killing, famine, slavery and disease that it can seem like a feral place a failed state even before it has become a state. Though it is early in the morning and still cool, this is late winter, the dry season in northeast Africa, when temperatures rise through the day past 110 degrees. A faint scent of burning fills the air, and the distant echo of things either being constructed or torn apart; in Juba, a war-smashed city with gutted armored personnel carriers strewn along the White Nile, it’s often difficult to tell what is a building site and what is rubble.
Note: Get the idea and create your own speech good luck
