Answer:

The Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex (vmPFC)

Explanation:

The Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex (vmPFC) is a part of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in the brain. It is located in the frontal lobe under the cerebral hemispheres and it is used or implicated in the processing of risk and fear.

The functions associated with the prefrontal cortex of the brain are:

1. It makes focusing or paying attention easier.

2. Predicting the consequences of one's actions that is anticipating events in the environment.

3. Impulse control

4. Better management of emotional reactions.

5. Ability to Plan for your future.

Damage to the Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex (vmPFC) f the brain causes difficulty with responding adaptively to probabilistic situations, because it hard for you to analyse your environment and to take into cognizant the consequences of your actions. Planning your future which is a probabilistic situation becomes almost impossible too.

Immigrants from China made up a large portion of the labor force during the California gold Rush for what two reasons
Mice21 [21]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can comment on the following.

Immigrants from China made up a large portion of the labor force during the California gold Rush for the following two reasons:

1) They arrived at the port of San Francisco, California, from China. 2) They worked as miners in the California gold mines and were paid low salaries, working under extremely unhealthy and risky conditions.

Chinese immigrants were treated badly because they were foreigners in a foreign land. White miners were jealous of the Chinese miners because Chinese miners worked very hard and were more efficient.

Years later, in the 1860s, and with the passing of the Pacific Railroad Act, Chinese people worked in the Transcontinental Railroad.
