Cynicism, low self-worth, uncertainty, powerlessness correlate with conspiracy belief.

Explanation:

The best predictor of belief in a conspiracy theory is belief in other conspiracy theories,” says  a psychology professor who studies conspiracy belief at the University of Westminster in England. Psychologists say that’s because a conspiracy theory isn’t so much a response to a single event.

kow [346]

Answer: A. Persian Wheel

Explanation:

A Persian wheel would be best because it is able to satisfy the demands of individual users as opposed to groups. A Persian wheel uses a single well to draw water so would be able to supply a person or people in a deserted area by drawing from individual wells.

Canals and dams on the other hand are best for areas with a lot of people as they would all benefit from the canal supplying multiple farms which would offset the cost of building it in the first place. Building a canal to a single farm is not feasible if it was to supply a single farm.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Universities.

Explanation:

In medieval times, higher learning institutions began to become more important, with scholars desirous of better education attending schools or universities to attain such knowledge. These universities would excel in the study of arts, medicine, law, or medicine.

These universities were established in the kingdom of Italy and then spread to England, Portugal, and Spain.

The first universities were more concerned with philosophical studies, between students and masters, and 'classes' taken in big stadiums or halls. Later on, many modern universities would be established with western style organizational forms.
