Answer:

The correct answer choice to the question: Why is reduction the term used to describe the gain of an electron, would be: The electron acceptor´s net charge decreases.

Explanation:

In chemical reactions, especially those known as redox reactions, one substance, or molecule, in the presence of another, tends to give up an electron, donate it to another, and become oxidized. In the case of the molecule that accepts the electron we say that this molecule has become reduced  and this is because, as the accepting molecule takes in the charged electron, this one change in electron charges will upset the balance that existed before the exchange. The result is that the acceptor of the incoming electron will see a decrease in its net charge, thus becoming reduced.

quester [9]
The correct answer is that it is D. the Geats, that truly display the Anglo-Saxon value of loyalty as Beowulf battles Grendel's mother. The fact they wait by the lake for him to emerge, and face the monster themselves, show that they are the most loyal of the possible answers offered here.

According to the CON article, which option BEST
IRISSAK [1]

Monuments honoring Christopher Columbus are being defaced and destroyed. This year’s

Columbus Day celebrations will spark strong debate over the explorer’s legacy, but by looking

at Columbus in the big picture of history, one can see today’s anti-Columbian fury is either

misguided or part of a blind political agenda to demonize early European activity in the New

World.

First, let’s consider the matter of European disease transmission, principally smallpox, which

is estimated to have killed 70 to 80 percent of Native Americans. While those numbers are

staggering, the deaths happened over many decades. Holding Columbus responsible is

beyond preposterous. Further, calculating an actual number of deaths is impossible because

estimates of pre-Columbus populations vary enormously. In Hispaniola, for example, the range

runs from 250,000 to 3 million.
