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.

Imperialism differs from colonialism. In a colonial system, the home country transplants many of its own society members to the colony to control it and to provide resources back to the home country. In an imperial system, the imperial country seeks to build a network of influence and commercial enterprises so that it can grow its wealth and advantage through its expanding empire.
Let's look at the British Mandate in Palestine as an example. The British did seek to work with local Arab and Jewish populations to set up operational governments there. But a British bias toward the Jewish population in the region was evident -- as that population mainly were emigrants from Europe and the European administrators of the Mandate understood their culture better. The Jews who settled in Palestine also were motivated to build up the land for agriculture and commerce, which was enriching the region beyond the ways that had been present under the previous Arab way of life. Britain was also interested in the region for its strategic location for trade and influence throughout the Middle East and beyond.
Separated by the Atlantic ocean, the colonies were on the opposite side of the ocean from Great Britain, this geographical fact meant that the mother country lacked the ability to enforce policy in the colonies subjects and leaders. Due to this issue, gradually the colonies were extended more rights and developed a unique form of government in opposition to that of the British Empire, particularly that of monarchical rule, top-down leadership and they established their democracy through conflict and devolution.
