Answer:

The correct answer is A. In the Senate, the presiding officer is the Vice-President of the United States, who usually delegates this duty to the president pro tempore.

Explanation:

The vice-president of the United States is the president of the Senate and directs the sessions of this one; however, he is not a senator and his vote does not count, with the exception of cases in which there are ties. Seldom does the vice president act as president of the Senate and, in general, only acts as such in cases where his vote is valid to settle a tie, or during the occasional ceremonies, so the duty of the Senate's presidency usually falls on the president pro tempore, who by tradition is the oldest senator of the party that owns the majority in the Senate, who almost always delegates the task of presiding over a junior senator from his own party.

How did the discovery of the Americas affect the people of Africa

insens350 [35]

Well, once the Americas were discovered and the colonist found that the soil was agreeable to grow different crops such as tobacco and cotton the colonists realized that they needed people to pick the crops. Originally indentured servants did the hard labor but then when they found that they could get labor by trading goods with African tribal leaders they resorted to importing Africans to the Americas as labor. The tribes in Africa were constantly fighting and whichever side won the losers became the slaves of the winning tribe. However, as Europeans brought valuable things to the continent of Africa such as weapons, salt, gold, and other things the leaders of the winning tribe would give their slaves to the Europeans. There were cases when Blacks captured other Blacks in Africa for the sole purpose of giving them to the European traders. Hopefully this helps. If you haven't see the movie La Amistad, it will explain in more detail what I have written. I learned a lot from that movie. I must warn you the first 5 to 10 minutes are a bit gory. I had a hard time watching that part.

What is the best indication of a more developed society?

atroni [7]

Answer:

The enhanced standard of living of the citizens is the best indication of a more developed society.

Explanation:

A number of parameters can be applied for the measurement of the development of any given society.

But in order to determine whether the development has percolated down to the lowest strata of society, it is necessary to take note of the level of standard that the citizens have achieved to live their day-to-day life with.

Only through the determination of standard of living of the citizens, the true picture of development would surface.
