The right answer to number four is

The Earth's umbra only cover a part of the Moon causing a circular shadow to pass across it.

A partial lunar eclipse happens when the Earth's umbra part moves across the Moon making a circular shadow across the Moon. An annular lunar eclipse is not possible because the Earth's umbra is always larger than surface of the Moon even if the orbits are in apogee.

Which document made provisions for federal authority in the west but prohibited the spread of human bondage?.

Amanda [17]

Missouri Compromise made provisions for federal authority in the west but prohibited the spread of human bondage.

What is Missouri Compromise?

The Missouri Compromise Act, passed by the US Congress in 1820, admitted Missouri as the 24th state to the Union.
Northern congressmen attempted unsuccessfully to attach amendments preventing further slaveholding after the area requested sovereignty without constraints on slavery.
When Maine (which was once a part of Massachusetts) applied for statehood, Henry Clay brokered a deal that saw Maine admitted as a free state and Missouri admitted as a slave state.
Slavery was subsequently outlawed in areas north of Missouri's southern boundary.
Clay's solution highlighted the sectional divide while appearing to resolve the slavery-extension issue.
