Eva8 [605]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

To hinder, impede or frustrate someone from achieving a set goal.

Explanation:

Thwart could either be a noun or a verb, the context determines its part of speech when used in a sentence. As a verb, it depicts that a desire could not be realized because it was frustrated by someone or something.

For example:

i. She did all she could to thwart his plans.

This simply means that she after all successfully impeded him from accomplishing his plans.

ii. Paul's aim to achieve a B in his English test was thwarted by his friend.

This makes us to understand that Paul's friend affected his plans to make a B grade in the test.

What are some causes and effects of the U.S. overseas expansion?
nikdorinn [45]
There were five major things that caused the U.S. Overseas Expansion:

1) New Manifest Destiny: the mission to reach from coast to coast
2) Commercial Expansion: the need for new interactions in international markets
3) Naval Power: this was still during the time when naval power was one of the greatest military powers a nation had. Having more of it, ensured your success in conflicts and influence
4) Darwinism/“White Man’s Burden”: Christian/Catholic missionaries’ missions to “uncivilized” nation, such as the ones in Africa
5) Closing of the Frontier: Americans wanted to have the “frontier”, or unmapped regions mapped and explored

All of these resulted in the spread of democracy, American influence and the realization that America was a big player at the table of nations.

I need 6 facts about Roman numerals. Thank you!
nikdorinn [45]
<span>1. A letter repeats its value that many times (XXX = 30, CC = 200, etc.). A letter can only be repeated three times.

<span>2. If one or more letters are placed after another letter of greater value, add that amount. VI = 6 (5 + 1 = 6)LXX = 70 (50 + 10 + 10 = 70)MCC = 1200 (1000 + 100 + 100 = 1200)

</span>3. If a letter is placed before another letter of greater value, subtract that amount. IV = 4 (5 – 1 = 4)XC = 90 (100 – 10 = 90)<span>CM = 900 (1000 – 100 = 900)</span></span>

Which development hurt the profitability of the cattle business?
Savatey [412]
The development that probably hurt it is the reduction of open range herding. In history, people could just let their cattle roam freely and find food since the plains were huge and nobody lived in them. Nowadays, this can be problematic because there are more and more people and settlements and roads with cars so free range herding has been drastically reduced which cost the herders a lot.
