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.

ROLE STRAIN is a phenomenon that occurs when one is having difficulty meeting the responsibilities of a SPECIFIC role in their life which in this case is that of a student.

The student is required to study hard as well as perform volunteer work as a student meaning the responsibilities might conflict under the SPECIFIC role of student.

This is different from ROLE CONFLICT where MULTIPLE roles conflict each other such as an employee student having the job's responsibilities conflicting with the responsibilities required of a student.

One way congress can limit the president’s power of executive appointment is by

svet-max [94.6K]

In a system of check and balance, the government has three different branches. All of them hold specific powers, and they all check each other. The three branches are: The legislative Power, which is the Congress. The Judicial Power which is represented by the Supreme Court. And lastly the Executive Power which is the President.

The President has the power of vetoing a law passed by the Congress. However, one way in which Congress can limit the President's power of executive appointment is by checking his/her decision with a 2/3 majority of the votes. This will override the veto done previously by the President.

Answer:

C. A 3x2 between-subjects, factorial design

Explanation:

Here a factorial design needs to be considered. Factorial design is used when there is more than one independent variable or factor which has more than one level. Here, noise is independent factor with three levels which are high, medium, and low and caffeine has two levels which are no caffeine or a high level of caffeine. Also, participants have received either no caffeine or a high level of caffeine. This means that it is a between-subjects or between-groups study with one group having no caffeine and other having high caffeine. Hence, 3x2 between-subjects factorial design is the most appropriate here.
