Explanation:

The Europeans competed to increase wealth and power by expanding empires to America, they decided to go to Jamestown, Virginia (home to the ruins of the first permanent English settlement in North America.)

When the settlers arrived Jamestown was located on a narrow peninsula bordered on three sides, which later changed location to an island in the James River.

The reason as to why they chose a location near water, was because the location could be easily defended from attacks by sea, the water along the shore was deep enough for ships to dock, and because they had a good supply of freshwater.

Identify the sentence from "Give me Liberty or Give Me Death" that demonstrates parallel structure (parallelism).
TiliK225 [7]

The correct answer is We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament.

Parallelism is a sequence of expressions with a parallel, that is, symmetrical structure. There is parallelism when there is a harmonious and logical chain between the different parts of the sentence and the text.

In order to have parallels, there must be correspondence and similarity between two words, ideas, terms that can be compared with each other.

The parallelism manifests itself mainly in syntactic and semantic structures.

What contributed to the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis?
Liula [17]
<span>The answer is letter b.  During this period the U.S. set up a blockade to prevent Russian ships from passing to Cuba.  The U.S. was alarmed after photos from a spy plane showed Russian missiles on Cuban soil.  This heightened American fears that Russia would invade through Cuba and use the missile already set up there.  At this point in time, the world was on the verge of nuclear war.  Both side weighed their options. After a tense period, secret negotiations brought an end to the conflict.  The Russians withdrew their missiles from Cuba and the U.S. withdrew their missiles from Turkey.</span>
