Answer:

a: euphenism

Explanation:

 Press secretaries must have a very good knowledge of how to use the appropriate words. In this occasion, in order to find a way to avoid embarassment resulting from a lie,<em> he tries t</em><em>o minimize</em><em> what he had declared</em> before, so he employs an euphenism, by using and comparing the expressions "operatrive statement" and "inoperative" instead of acknowledging: <em>"I was wrong when said that."</em>

What was the difference between the goals of the Coronado expedition and the La Salle expedition?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The main difference between the Coronado and La Salle expeditions was the purpose with which each expedition began.

Thus, Coronado carried out his expedition to the southwestern United States with the objective of claiming those territories for the Spanish Empire, territories that had already been explored and in which it was expected to discover native cities full of wealth.

Instead, La Salle carried out his expedition along the Mississippi River with the goal of discovering the territories adjacent to it, and claiming them for the Kingdom of France.

Thus, while the La Salle expedition had a merely territorial and expansionist objective, the Coronado expedition had as its main objective the discovery of sumptuous wealth in the explored territories.

The correct answer is C. quotation marks

Using quotation marks forces the search engine to search only for websites that have that specific phrase. If you don't use them then it will also search for those websites that have only parts of the phrase, but using the marks makes it better for your search.
