The correct answer is - twice.

John Smith was held as prisoner twice during his life. The first time he had been captured and held as prisoner by the Ottoman Turks, while the second time he was kept as prisoner by a Native American (Indian) tribe, and he was able to escape with the help of a girl named Pocahontas (allegedly).

Considering his life, it is even weird that he has only been captured and held as prisoner so few times. He was a man that loved traveling and was an explorer, and a soldier, so he was getting himself in a very dangerous positions more often than not. He was also a colonial governor of the Jamestown colony, as well as Admiral of New England. Smith also is regarded as an author, though his credibility from historic point of view is very often disputed.

Which of the following two-part conditions tends to cause unemployment?

aksik [14]

The two part condition that leads to unemployment is:

A decrease in consumer and business spending and a decrease in the money supply.
The correct answer is D.

<h3>What is Unemployment?</h3>

This can be described as a state where there are qualified people for employment yet there are no employment opportunities for the people.

An increase in money supply raises the price level in the economy. This would lower Unemployment in the long run.

A decrease in consumer spending would mean that income of consumers have dropped.

Then consumers would spend less money to purchase goods and services from businesses. This impacts the businesses in a way that they have to drop off some of their workers.
