Drupady [299]

Answer:

B). Its results are not generally applicable.

Explanation:

A case study is described as the research plan or an experimental investigation that primarily intends to observe or examine a phenomenon, individual, or a group(as representatives) within its authentic context to make generalized deductions or conclusions.

As per the question, option B best describes the outcomes of a case study. The description of 'its results are not generally applicable' reflects that the research could not lead to producing a generalized conclusion that can represent the other associated units intensively. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

Question 15 of 20 :

Answer:

D. Preaching in German and translating the Bible so people could read

Explanation:

Martin Luther tought that it individual faith was very important, and that people should seek a persona connection with God, instead of relying on the preachings of the local priest.

The problem was that very few German people could read at the time, let alone read Latin, the language in which the Bible was written.

This is why Luther completed the Task of translating the Bible to German, so that more people could read the Bible by themselves, and develop their individual faith.

Which one of these is NOT a strength of the Articles of Confederation?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

your answer would be a congress could not sign treaties. It's in your explanation says Congress had no power to Levy taxes or regulate trade without federal court system executive leaders that one was not a strength of the Articles of the Confederation

Explanation:

There were more weaknesses than strengths under the Articles of Confederation. The lack of power given to the Continental Congress strangled the federal government. The Articles gave Congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. If a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. Congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. Without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. Amending the Articles of Confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
