The correct answer is: "The automobile industry used the substance to power cars and trucks".

Oil extraction fostered the emergence of other industries close by. These industries were mostly higher-value added steps within the same production processes, in which the main raw material used as input was oil. The emergence of these oil-related industries near the extraction plants, gave firms the opportunity of decreasing transportation costs and hence, of producing more efficiently to be more competitive in terms of prices.

The automobile industry is a perfect example of a production process in which its first step is oil extraction. This is why car industries were boosted after oil extraction started in the US territory.

Whom did President Johnson appoint as the military commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam?
Verdich [7]

Answer:  General William Westmoreland

Details:  President Lyndon Johnson appointed General William Westmoreland to replace General Paul Harkins as head of the United States Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) in June, 1964.  

The buildup of American military presence in Vietnam from 16,000 troops to over 500,000 troops occurred under Westmoreland's leadership, as well as President Johnson's initiative.  The ongoing stalemate in Vietnam, in spite of those enormous troop increases, brought about much anti-war sentiment back home in the United States.  Plenty of the dissatisfaction was aimed at General Westmoreland.  In 1968, President Johnson replaced Westmoreland with General Creighton Abrams as head of MACV.

Why don't more people vote today?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Education<span>  Data show that the single biggest predictor of whether someone will vote is whether they hold a college degree, Burden notes. College graduates make more money, on average.

People without a college degree, he says, are less likely to seek out political information. They also are less likely to have friends who care about politics or talk about voting.</span>
