The correct answer is D) to represent the passing on of responsibility by referencing a well known, meaningful practice.

Kennedy's purpose for using the phrase "the torch has been passed was to represent the passing on of responsibility by referencing a well known, meaningful practice.

He referred to the "new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage." These Americans had the responsibility to work for the benefit of the United States despite the difficult circumstances and threats. That is why he expressed the quote "do not ask what this country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

How would life have been different in the 1800s if the steam locomotive had not been invented
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Life would have been different without the locomotive because you could not travel to far places quickly and efficiently. To get there you might have to walk, but you could be kidnapped, robbed, or catch a sickness. With the locomotive, you could get to places such as California safer and quicker.

What principles from the scientific revolution led to people pursuing questions about the ideal form of government
OlgaM077 [116]
Questioning and rationale thought--The Scientific Revolution sparked a sense of questioning the world around us and using rational, structured thinking to address a problem. 

The scientific method began to emerge and was applied to discovering the workings of the universe, body, and environment. These same methods used in universities could then be applied to studying the workings of our history and government. Then using questioning and rational thinking new methods and theories could be developed to address the structure of society.
