Answer:    B. Suggestibility

Explanation:  According to the statement in the question, Alex saw a girl in a red shirt stealing a candy bar. When asked by police what candy bar was stolen by the girl in the blue shirt, Alex accepts that it is a girl in a blue shirt. It is the result of suggestibility, and that is the tendency to accept according to the suggestions of others. In general, the information Alex gave is credible because it is a girl who stole a candy bar, but some part of the information is false, that part of the information that appears as a gap in memory for various reasons. These gaps in memory can occur as a result of the excitement or authority of a police uniform, and are usually filled with false information as a product of suggestibility.

1. Briefly explain the back and forth battle between the British and revolutionary forces in late 1776.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The Revolutionary War (1775-83), also known as the American Revolution, arose from growing tensions between residents of Great Britain’s 13 North American colonies and the colonial government, which represented the British crown. Skirmishes between British troops and colonial militiamen in Lexington and Concord in April 1775 kicked off the armed conflict, and by the following summer, the rebels were waging a full-scale war for their independence. France entered the American Revolution on the side of the colonists in 1778, turning what had essentially been a civil war into an international conflict. After French assistance helped the Continental Army force the British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, the Americans had effectively won their independence, though fighting would not formally end until 1783.

Causes of the Revolutionary War

For more than a decade before the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775, tensions had been building between colonists and the British authorities.

The French and Indian War, or Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), brought new territories under the power of the crown, but the expensive conflict lead to new and unpopular taxes. Attempts by the British government to raise revenue by taxing the colonies (notably the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Acts of 1767 and the Tea Act of 1773) met with heated protest among many colonists, who resented their lack of representation in Parliament and demanded the same rights as other British subjects. Colonial resistance led to violence in 1770, when British soldiers opened fire on a mob of colonists, killing five men in what was known as the Boston Massacre. After December 1773, when a band of Bostonians dressed as Mohawk Indians boarded British ships and dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor during the Boston Tea Party, an outraged Parliament passed a series of measures (known as the Intolerable, or Coercive Acts) designed to reassert imperial authority in Massachusetts.
