Answer:

They got through tunnels

Explanation:

The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses established in the United States during the early to mid-19th century, and used by enslaved African-Americans to escape into free states and Canada. The scheme was assisted by abolitionists and others sympathetic to the cause of the escapees. Not literally a railroad, the workers (both black and white, free and enslaved) who secretly aided the fugitives are also collectively referred to as the "Underground Railroad". Various other routes led to Mexico, where slavery had been abolished, or overseas. An earlier escape route running south toward Florida, then a Spanish possession (except 1763–83), existed from the late 17th century until Florida became a United States territory in 1821. One of the main reasons Florida was purchased by the United States was to end its function as a safe haven for escaped slaves.However, the network now generally known as the Underground Railroad was formed in the late 1700s. It ran north and grew steadily until the Civil War began.One estimate suggests that by 1850, 100,000 slaves had escaped via the "Railroad". British North America (present-day Canada) was a desirable destination, as its long border gave many points of access, it was further from slave catchers, and beyond the reach of the United States' Fugitive Slave Acts. Most former slaves, reaching Canada by boat across Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, settled in Ontario. More than 30,000 people were said to have escaped there via the network during its 20-year peak period, although U.S. Census figures account for only 6,000. Numerous fugitives' stories are documented in the 1872 book The Underground Railroad Records by William Still, an abolitionist who then headed the Philadelphia Vigilance Committee.

For questions 7–9, choose the correct sentence pattern.
notka56 [123]

1. The correct answer is S-V-N.


S refers to subject, and if you take a look at the sentence, you will see that the subject IT comes first. It is then followed by V, which stands for verb. In this sentence, the verb is IS. The verb is followed by a noun phrase HYBRID CAR, which is a predicate nominative (a noun or phrase following a linking verb). Predicate nominatives are written as N.


2. The correct answer is S-V-A.


The layout of this sentence is similar to the first sentence. First, we have the subject (S) TRADITIONAL GAS-POWERED CARS, then we have the verb (V) ARE, which is later followed by an adjective phrase HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. This phrase is a predicate adjective (an adjective or adjectival phrase following a linking verb), which is written as A.


3. The correct answer is S-V-O.


This is the most common structure of sentences in the English language. First, we have the subject HYBRIDS, then we have the verb PRODUCE, and then we have the direct object LESS POLLUTION, and later a phrase that we don't need to name. The object of a sentence is determined by asking the question What? (What do hybrids produce? - Less pollution), and it is written as O. IO stands for indirect object, which doesn't appear here.

10. Calgary receives 7 h 54 min of hours of daylight (sunrise to sunset) on December 22.
Delvig [45]

Edmonton's daylight duration is shorter than that of Calgary because Edmonton is at a lower latitude than Calgary.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Latitude is an essential factor in indicating the length of the day in a region.
  • Latitude is the horizontal lines, which measure the north-south position between the poles, using the equator line as a reference.
  • Latitude is measured in degrees and the highest numbers are placed in regions that are close to the equator.
  • As you move away from the equator towards the poles, latitude decreases.

The higher the latitude, the longer the duration of daylight. So if Edmonton has fewer hours of sunlight than Calgary it is because Edmonton is at a lower latitude.
