Believed to have been born in the late 16th century, English explorer Henry Hudson made two unsuccessful sailing voyages in search of an ice-free passage to Asia. In 1609, he embarked on a third voyage funded by the Dutch East India Company that took him to the New World and the river that would be given his name. On his fourth voyage, Hudson came upon the body of water that would later be called the Hudson Bay.
The third voyage was the worst. When some members of Henry Hudson's crew set off to find food on the shore, the First Nations attacked them and killed one of Henry Hudson's men. The man that died was one of the most important men on the ship. He would keep watch to see if there were chunks of ice up ahead and if there were dead ends. On his last voyage, Henry Hudson encountered the menacing ice. This ice was so thick that his boat was stuck. By the time the ice melted and the boat was free, his unhappy crew plotted against him and set him adrift in a boat with his son and a few other crew members

Answer:
YES
Explanation:
Because “At no previous time has American security been as seriously threatened from without as it is today,” Roosevelt admitted, but he still had hope for a future that would encompass the “four essential human freedoms”—including freedom from fear. And when Pearl Harbor was attacked at the end of that year, news reports from the time showed that Americans indeed responded with determination more than fear.
Nearly three quarters of a century later, a poll released in December found that Americans are more fearful of terrorism than at any point since Sept. 11, 2001. And while recent events like the attacks in ISIS-inspired attacks in Paris and the fatal shootings in San Bernardino, Calif. may have Americans particularly on edge, experts say that Roosevelt’s advice has gone unheeded for sometime. “My research starts in the 1980s and goes more or less till now, and there have been very high fear levels in the U.S. continuously,” says Barry Glassner, president of Lewis & Clark college and author of The Culture of Fear: Why Americans Are Afraid of the Wrong Things.
Firm data on fear levels only go back so far, so it’s hard to isolate a turning point. Gallup polls on fear of terrorism only date to about the time of the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995. (At that point, 42% of respondents were very or somewhat worried about terrorism; the post-9/11 high mark for that question is 59% in October of 2001, eight percentage points above last month’s number.) Other questionnaires about fear of terrorism date back to the early 1980s, following the rise of global awareness of terrorism in the previous decade, as Carl Brown of Cornell University’s Roper Center public opinion archives points out. Academics who study fear use materials like letters and newspaper articles to fill in the gaps, and those documents can provide valuable clues.
Answer: (e) peer review
Explanation:
Peer review is the evaluation of an author's work by a group of experts, scholars, and professionals within the same field so as to check the authenticity, validity, and quality of such work, and also determine if it is worthy of publication. Such review also helps to determine if a work would be accepted or not.
Subjecting a work to peer review helps to maintain the quality of research work carried out as this comes with placing restrictions on work which do not meet the required standard or have inaccurate or false claims.
