The author,Tom Standage, argues that deliberately-made beverages represent a variety of roles and commemorations to their respective societies and world history. He believes that these beverages symbolize the time periods, cultures, and achievements of their respective eras.

The leaders of the world need to put special attention to the way their countries are producing energy. Fossil fuel has created many problems and the consequences can be seen in global warming and climate change. That is why the Kyoto Protocol in Japan, gathered most of the industrialized nations to reduce pollutants. Unfortunately, the United States was the only country that did not sign the agreement.
Answer:
Explanation:
Government sanctioned violence under Mao was interpreted by Mao as necessary to preserve the state of continuous revolution, in which China would continue to evolve and shed the shackles of its dynastic past. Although violence was used against political opponents, Mao was more secure in his power and there was not as much threat of overthrow. Mao's main objective in his violent projects, such as the Cultural Revolution,was to keep China from achieving stability and the complacence that may have came with it. Although misguided, his intention was for a new China, united under the doctrine of Communism and with a desire to start fresh, to emerge. Stalin mainly used violence as a tool for suppressing dissent and consolidating his power. He did not want to cause disorder through violence, which was a secondary objective for Mao, but wanted to make sure that no one could challenge his dominance in the USSR. He sent political opponents to gulags or had them killed for the sake of making them disappear, while Mao often sent people in the party to internment camps for "reeducation", only to call upon them later to serve in the government.
Answer: b. King George III
Details:
Jefferson provided a list of "facts to be submitted to a candid world" to demonstrate that the British king, George III, had been seeking to establish "an absolute Tyranny over these States" (the colonial states which were declaring their independence).
Jefferson's list included items such as:
- The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
- The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
- The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
- The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
- The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
- The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
- The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.
These and additional items listed in the Declaration were meant to support the colonies' position that tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy, and therefore revolution was justified.
