Answer:

Explanation:

Massacre: an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of people.

“an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of many people” Many is of course “A large quantity”. So there we have it, certainly more than a couple but if it gets to be say 100,000, which is definitely a large number, I suspect that might be encroaching into the realms of genocide.

OK so if you happen upon a car crash and there are bodies spread over the scene, 2 from each of the 2 cars, then you would immediately spot, just by looking there were 4 people involved, but if it was a pair of coaches each with 52 passengers and they were all spread around the scene you wouldn’t be able to put a number to it by just sweeping your eyes across the mess, perhaps then it is getting to be a massacre. Could that be a useful definition? If the number slaughtered is more than you can estimate merely with a look? I also think it needs to be within a definable area, like a football field, or a stadium or perhaps a town. If it involved a whole region of a country then it becomes Genocide, maybe.

Could it be then The indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of more people within a definable area than you can estimate readily with a sweep of your eyes.

Just a suggestion, so go gently on me ………….

How does Lucas say the signers of the Declaration of Independence created the sense that war was inevitable?
MArishka [77]

If you study the declaration of independence closely, it us clear that the declaration demands rights. And the oppressive regimes of the world would be unwilling to grant those rights. In order to achieve those rights, one will have to fight. And that will pave the way for war. It has become evident now after centuries. United States believed in the rights and freedom of the people. That had the U.S entering the world wars. All the wars after that too, were basically based on this very idea. FREEDOM.

Which is the best way to measure public opinion?
ratelena [41]
The best way to measure public opinion is through opinion polls - B

With opinion polls you get an idea what is the general idea about a certain topic from the public, as you usually get a high enough sample to deduce the relevant information.

To answer your second question I would say it is either B or C as being a sole proprietor usually makes you subjec to being a small business or you're forced to use factors of production less efficiently.
