Answer: Further fighting could not accomplish anything useful and losses would be heavy

Explanation:  General Robert Edward Lee, had only hungry and ragged men. Trapped in the vicinity of Richmond by the forces of Generals Grant and Sheridan, he tries one last card to escape Appomatox. His men manage to penetrate and cross a first line of the enemy cavalry troop, but are surrounded by infantry regiments, camouflaged in the vicinity.

For over a week, Lee had tried to escape Grant west to Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia. After a ten-month siege of both cities, Union forces broke through the defenses, forcing Lee to retreat. The Confederates moved along the Appomattox River, south, with General Phillip Sheridan following them closely. Lee's army had little food and soldiers began to desert in large numbers. When Lee reached Appomattox, he realized that his path was blocked. He had no alternative but to propose to meet Grant.

What is the best description of the grass seed that is described in this senario?
Fudgin [204]

The correct answer is D. A good with an elastic supply

Explanation:

The supply of a product is elastic if it is flexible and changes according to other factors such as demand or price. This means the amount offered by producers of a good is not the same all the time but can vary. This occurs in the case of grass seed because to attract more customers producers needed to lower the price and the amount of seeds they offered in each bag. This shows there was a change in the supply due to changes in the price of this product and the buyers' preferences.

liberstina [14]

  • such as an advertisement, based on visual appeal, background noise, or other superficial qualities rather than the message's real content.
