The correct answer is B. The Anasazi left their cliff dwellings​ (possibly because of​ drought) and disappeared before Europeans arrived.

Explanation:

Parentheses () are common punctuation marks used to introduce information such as examples, comments, remarks or explanations. Besides this, punctuation marks such as commas should never be placed before the parentheses and they can only be placed after it in case the sentence requires it, which commonly occurs when there is a dependent and independent clause.

This means, in the case presented the correct sentence is "The Anasazi left their cliff dwellings​ (possibly because of​ drought) and disappeared before Europeans arrived" because this does not include commas before or after the parentheses which is correct because a comma should never be included before the parentheses and in this case, it is not necessary to add a comma after the parentheses because "and disappeared before Europeans arrived" is part of the predicate in the sentence.

DBQ: Is the American Jury System Still a Good Idea? plz help me. Write me an Essay plzzzz
juin [17]

The jury system in America is something passed down from the British colonists in the 18th century. The jury protected nationalists in court from the restraints of British rule. When the United States revolted from Great Britain the United States retained the jury system. The Founding Fathers found it essential to include a jury in court proceedings to prevent a tyrannical government from forming. These values were in expressed in the Bill of Rights, notably in the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and later Fourteenth Amendment. The jury system works by selecting eligible citizens from a pool of candidates. This jury then will listen to the case with an unbiased mind. They then decide the guilt or innocence of the defendant. This system has worked for centuries to protect citizens and to ensure fair trial. However, in the modern age, the efficiency and use of the jury system is largely obsolete. The jury system places a burden on the backs of citizens, juries are placed in cases they do not understand, and convicts hundreds of innocent people each year.The one reason why it is a good idea is that it During the trial, jurors are usually doing what they are supposed to do. We mean – gathering the evidence which helps to set an innocent person free or a guilty person pay. ... Jury trials should stay because they help to increase the sense of civic duty.
