Gordon has written the following paragraphs about the Hubble Telescope: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which was named after

the astronomer Edwin Hubble, orbits the earth and observes the far reaches of the universe in near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectra. Its launch in 1990 was the fulfillment of almost 70 years of theory and planning—and almost 20 years of construction. When it was launched, the telescope contained five scientific instruments: a Wide Field and Planetary Camera (WF/PC), a Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS), a High Speed Photometer (HSP), a Faint Object Camera (FOC), and a Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS). After many initial technological challenges, the HST was finally fully operational in 1993 and began capturing some of the most breathtaking pictures of the universe ever recorded. Which is a transitional phrase, and what is its purpose?
A. “the HST was finally fully operational”; to ensure that the text has a formal style

B. “When it was launched”; to provide a clear transition between the ideas in the two paragraphs

C. “the telescope contained five scientific instruments”; to add precise, relevant details to the second paragraph

D. “observes the far reaches of the universe in near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectra”; to clarify meaning through the use of topic-specific vocabulary

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 and due to intruders having endangered the food resources of the Plains tribes.

Explanation:

The retaliation of red cloud and the Sioux Indians was as a result of Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 and due to intruders having endangered the food resources of the Plains tribes.

After gold was discovered in Montana, the U.S. Army built forts across Lakota hunting grounds, which led to the Bozeman Trail. with its connection to the Oregon Trail, results to miners, immigrants, settlers and wagon trains passing directly through the buffalo feeding areas, which led to damaging the food resources of the Plain Tribes .

Hence, Red Cloud, together with Sioux Indians refused to sign a non-aggression treaty which will allow passage across their lands from Fort Laramie to the gold fields of Montana.

Therefore, various attacks were launched in retaliation against U.S army and settlers, whereby the native warriors employed guerilla tactics.
