Answer:

<u>Surmounted </u>means "placed on top of"

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the narrator describes the other character, Fortunato. This man was wearing "motley" (a piece of clothing made up of different colors) and a conical cap and bell "surmounting" his head. In this case, the verb surmount means to be on top of something tall or just on top of something.

Sometimes surmount can mean to overcome a difficulty, to deal successfully with an obstacle.

Which event contributed to the american colonists decision to write the declaration of independence and separate from great brit
vazorg [7]

<span>The declaration of independence sprouted from many reasons. The Americans believed that the British government were unfair to the colonists. Tax laws were imposed in favor of the British government. The Parliament had no American representatives to discuss on the laws. A good example would be when the Great British government intentionally wanted to have the American colonists pay imported goods tax.</span>

MORE THAN 20 POINTS. give me evidence to “ Gun restrictions prevent from selling to the wrong hands”
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: Keeping guns out of the hands of people who are likely to harm themselves or others—before they act—is the most effective way to prevent gun violence.

Explanation: Federal law requires background checks on all gun sales from licensed firearm dealers to ensure that gun buyers do not fall into one of the categories of people prohibited by law from having a gun. But the law does not require background checks on sales from unlicensed sellers, including online or at gun shows—making it easy for a prohibited person to acquire a gun. Federal law also fails to prohibit certain categories of people with particularly dangerous histories, and it does not provide a process through which people who are likely to commit violent acts against themselves or others can be blocked from having access to guns.
