The correct answer is: "It was unpopular with a majority of Americans and also difficult to enforce".

The 18th amendment to the US Constitution was issued in 1917 and declared a nationwide prohibition of intoxicating liquors, which banned both the production and sale of alcoholic beverages. Subsequently the Volstead Act was issued too, for the enforcement of this 18th amendment.

Although there was a decrease in alcohol consumption the enforcement of these regulations was extremely complicated, criminal organizations arose and started to sell alcohol in the black markets. Moreover, the public opinion started to reject the Prohibition in the 1920s decade. In 1932 President Franklin D. Roosevelt claimed for its derogation and in 1933 the 21st amendment to the US Contitution was passed to repeal the previous 18th amendment. It is the only time in the US history that one amendment is only issued to overrule a previous one.

The independent variable is how many maps/charts are made by a student.

Explanation:

The independent variable refers to the variable the researcher will manipulate while the dependent variable is the variable that is affected by the manipulation of the independent variable.

This means that the dependent variable outcome will depend on other variable which is the independent one.

In this example, you predict that exam scores are higher for students who created more maps/charts. In other means, the exam scores are being affected by the making of maps/charts to study (if you make more maps/charts, THEN you get a higher score). You can decide on how many maps/charts you will make but you cannot decide on what score you'll get on the exam, since you can manipulate the amount of maps/charts you will make, this is the independent variable.

Therefore, the independent variable is the making of maps/charts.
