Answer:

After Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas, and was successful in changing the way European people thought about the Earth being a flat surface that could not be navigated without falling off the end of the horizon, many more voyages were planned in order to continue finding new trading routes and new lands.

Between 1519 and 1522 a Portuguese explorer known as Ferdinand Magellan set out to a new quest under the commission of the Spanish Crown to reach the East Indies this time. The adventure ended up being the first Earth circumnavigating enterprise ever attempted. Although Magellan did not complete the entire trip, some of those who set out with him, did.

The result was the discovery of lands that could be reached by navigating down the tip of South America (most of the South East Asian islands), and the possibility of reaching South East Asia and India, and the islands on the Pacific Ocean, going West, instead of East. This remarkable feat suddenly completely changed the concept that Europeans had about their planet, and it also changed the dynamics as the European powers, now aware of these possibilities and potentials, rushed to capitalize on them and establish their own routes and also colonies. The map of the world had completely changed for Europe.

prisoha [69]

The type of fraud that targets groups of people who have some social connection, such as neighborhoods of racial minorities or immigrant groups, is known as  Affinity fraud.

Affinity fraud targets groups of people who are connected socially. Affinity frauds frequently occur in areas where racial minorities, particularly immigrant communities, make up the majority of the population. Religious and professional ties are frequently taken advantage of.

The friendship and trust that exist among groups of individuals is taken advantage of by these scams. Outsiders might not be aware of the affinity scam due to the close-knit nature of many groups. Instead of reporting the incident to the police or seeking legal action, victims might try to resolve their issues among the group.

Researchers have observed that in villages in Russian Georgia where people have a low-calorie diet but are not malnourished, the
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Take a village and divide the population in two, with an experimental group that will be given a different diet, and a control group which will continue with their normal diet.

Explanation:

In experiment design, when we want to test whether or not certain factor actually has a real effect on a population, one of the best methods to follow is to split the population in two groups: an experimental group, where we will apply the treatment, and a control group, where either a placebo or no treatment at all will be applied. The advantage of having both an experimental and a control group is that this way we can ascertain with much more clarity whether a change in the indepent variable (the treatment) has an observable effect on the dependent variable (the effect on the population).

In our example, a practical manner to test whether longevity in Russian Georgian villages is due to genetic or dietary factors, is to take one of the villages, and split the population in two groups: an experimental group, that will be given a higher calorie diet, and a control group, which will continue to consume their normal low-calorie diet. Then we would track the differences in age expectancy over time. If after a long enough period of time there's a difference in longevity between both groups, in other words, whether one of them leads longer or shorter lives than the other, then we can conclude that our test has proven that diet has a definitive effect on their longevity. If there's no significant difference, then we can conclude that diet has no relevance and it's all due to genetics.

VladimirAG [237]

After 700 BCE, a sense of equality developed in Greece among foot soldiers.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The foot soldiers serving in the ancient Greek armies belonged to different communities. These soldiers were collectively called 'phalanx'.

The sense of cooperation that developed amongst these soldiers after collectively fighting wars for the throne also ultimately resulted in developing a sense of equality among the soldiers.

Though these soldiers belonged to different communities that had different positions in society, the discrimination and between them eventually nullified.

the number of people in each legislative district must be roughly equal based on the total number of what?
Firdavs [7]

Based on the principle of <u>one person, one vote</u>, each legislative district must have equal populations.

There are 435 congressional districts from which the respective legislative members are chosen for the US House of Representatives.

Each electoral district is supposed to have an equal population, as much as possible. This was reinstated as a law by the Supreme Court in the case of Reynolds vs. Sims (1964).
