Water is a polar molecule and also acts as a polar solvent. When a chemical species is said to be "polar," this means that the positive and negative electrical charges are unevenly distributed. The positive charge comes from the atomic nucleus, while the electrons supply the negative charge.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Proxy means that something is done representing something or someone else. If you tell somebody to say hi to someone for you, they are saying hi to that other person in proxy for you.
Answer B talks about sending spies. This has nothing to do with proxy.
Answer C talks about getting more weapons. This doesn't have anything to do with representation.
Answer D talks about engaging in direct military conflicts. If the US and USSR armies were fighting each other, that would not be proxy because there is no one else representing them.
Answer A talks about supporting armies in conflicts around the world. In Korea, the USSR supported North Korea and the US supported South Korea. These two fought kind of on behalf of the USSR and US, so it is basically proxy. North Korea represented the USSR and South Korea represented the US.
Therefore, the answer is A. supporting armies in conflicts around the world.
Have a wonderful day! :D
Answer: B) Schools should no longer be segregated because they are unequal.
Details/explanation:
<em>Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka</em>, decided by the US Supreme Court in 1954, ruled that all Americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. Until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students. An older Supreme Court decision,<em> Plessy v. Ferguson</em> (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality. In the case of Brown v. Board of Education, that standard was challenged and defeated. Segregation was shown to create inequality, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.
The ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th Amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to education. This was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools. Section 1 of the 14th Amendment reads as follows:
- <em>All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.</em>
