Answer:Both are important capabilities of a generator to keep the lights on.

Explanation:Power plants do provide both energy and power. Both are important capabilities of a generator to keep the lights on. And, in fact, power plants are rated, not by how much energy they produce, but by how much power they can produce, because if the grid does not have enough power generation capacity, it won’t work. It is arguably the more important parameter to specify in an electrical generation facility.

So, you could probably call them either power or energy plants. I do not know the history of why we chose to use power.

U.S. foreign policy shifted away from (BLANK) to international involvement.

suter [353]

Answer:

Isolationism

Explanation:

In the 19th century, the United States under the administration of George Washington established a policy to isolate itself from intervening in foreign wars. There were deliberations as to whether the United States will join the League of Nations and interfere in wars. This policy was a result of the economic crisis faced by the United States at that time and there was a need to focus on the problems than getting involved in foreign affairs. Thomas Woodrow Wilson assuming power as the President of the United States, also maintained that stance as he urged the United States not to involve in wars.

Wilson changed his mind after he realized the war in Europe will most likely extend to the Atlantic Ocean. The number of people killed in the war also propelled the intervention of the United States. Its strong alliance in maintaining peace and stability in all states was also a key factor. With this intervention in the World War, the United States assumed the status of World power.

A South African citizen wants to migrate. To which of the following places is the citizen MOST likely to migrate?

Temka [501]

Most likely to migrate to would happen to be 70 miles away with a population of 7000 because no one likes overcrowded places with barely little to no walking space so D. and A. are out of the question

and for options B. and C. they were a little harder to make out becuase they both seemed legit at first but when you realize it 1500 is really far thats like moving from end to end on that country just about anyways so i went with option choice B.
