<span>It reduced coast-to-coast communication from about 180 days to about a week. This question is mildly ambiguous due to the word "communication". Does it mean "Speed of sending a message?" or "Speed of moving a physical object?" Given the available options as answers, I will assume the meaning is "Speed of moving a physical object?" With that in mind, let's look at the available options and see what makes sense. It made coast-to-coast communication instantaneous. * Even modern jets can't travel from coast to coast instantaneously, so you wouldn't expect a train to do so either. So this choice is just plain silly and therefore wrong. It reduced coast-to-coast communication from about a week to about a day. * A stagecoach had an average speed of about 5 mph and covered 60 to 70 miles per day. So it's not going to go from coast to coast in only a week. And since that part of the answer is wrong, this choice is wrong. It reduced coast-to-coast communication from about 180 days to about a week. * The 180 day estimate is definitely doable. That's an average speed of about 17 miles per day which is a good speed for a person walking day to day. And that would be about 400 miles per day for the train. The numbers make sense and this is the correct answer. It made coast-to-coast communication more complicated. * Let's see. Buy a train ticket and possibly arrange for 6 layovers. Or plan a multiple month trip and possibly coordinate that effort without having any rapid means of communications? This option is just plain silly when you consider the logistics of traveling for several months vs traveling for a mere week. So this is a bad choice.</span>

How could one of the major organization within the federal government most effectively prevent the presidents nominee from servi
Mashutka [201]

The correct answer is:

The Senate could prevent the President's nominee from serving as a federal judge, if they refuse to confirm the President's nominee.

Explanation:

Under Article II, of the United States Constitution; the President has the power to elect candidates for Supreme Court Judges, but it also states that the Senate shall advice and consent the President's decision.

Before the President can officially present his nominee, he has to follow certain steps that involve sessions in which the nominee should present and answer questions from the Senate's Judiciary Committee. The Committee acts as a Representative Committee for the whole Senate, and if they approve (three-fifths are required), they send their vote to the entire Senate, this confirmation allows the President to appoint the nominee for federal judge.

Describe one key event that happened in the European Theater of World War II, after the US joined the war.
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

please give me brainlest star please

Explanation:

Victory in the European Theater

Victory in the European Theater

Despite the fact that a Japanese attack in the Pacific was the tripwire for America’s entrance into the war, Roosevelt had been concerned about Great Britain since the beginning of the Battle of Britain. Roosevelt viewed Germany as the greater threat to freedom. Hence, he leaned towards a “Europe First” strategy, even before the United States became an active belligerent. That meant that the United States would concentrate the majority of its resources and energies in achieving a victory over Germany first and then focus on defeating Japan. Within Europe, Churchill and Roosevelt were committed to saving Britain and acted with this goal in mind, often ignoring the needs of the Soviet Union. As Roosevelt imagined an “empire-free” postwar world, in keeping with the goals of the Atlantic Charter, he could also envision the United States becoming the preeminent world power economically, politically, and militarily. (2)
