Answer: d) The "space race" was a Cold War competition by scientist.
Explanation: D is the best option because it puts "space race" as the subject of the sentence.
The subject is the main focus of the sentence.
Option A does this as well, but the sentence is very wordy and does not do enough to draw attention to "the space race".
Option B keeps the scientists as the subject of the sentence.
Option C makes the "space race" part of a prepositional phrase which can be eliminated.
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
Among the other achievements of Reconstruction were the South's first state-funded public school systems, more equitable taxation legislation, laws against racial discrimination in public transport and accommodations and ambitious economic development programs (including aid to railroads and other enterprises).
The correct answer is: The partitioned areas became the countries of Pakistan and, eventually, Bangladesh.
The dominion of the British crown in the Indian subcontinent ended in 1947, after which the former territory of the British Raj was partitioned into the regions of India, Western Pakistan, Eastern Pakistan (Bengal), Western Bengal, and Punjab. In this context, there were violent uprisings and conflicts between religious groups that ended with the life of around 200 000 and 2 million people. 14 million Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs were displaced in what is known as the largest mass migration in the history of humanity.
Indian Muslims were organized around the political leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League of India, and they believed that the Muslims of India should have their own country. This new country was labeled as Pakistan, which in Urdu means "the land of the pure." Pakistan encompassed its current territory plus Bengal, which was called Eastern Pakistan. This last region became an independent country in 1971 under the name of Bangladesh.
