The correct answer is B) cowardly.

The word pusillanimous most likely means cowardly.

When Thomas Jefferson expressed: "The pusillanimous idea that we had friends in England worth keeping terms with, still haunted the minds of many," he tried to say that the coward idea of thinking that they had friends was out of his mind.

Thomas Jefferson helped elaborate the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, during the Revolutionary War years. He received the help of the Committee formed by Robert Livingstone, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and John Adams. Jefferson was inspire3d bye the Virginia Declaration of Rights, written by George Mason.

Oceano atlantico facts
natka813 [3]

Cubriendo aproximadamente el 20 por ciento de la superficie de la Tierra, el Océano Atlántico es la segunda cuenca oceánica más grande del mundo, siguiendo solo el Pacífico. Sin embargo, es solo un poco más grande que la mitad del tamaño del Océano Pacífico.

El Océano Atlántico se encuentra entre América del Norte y del Sur en el oeste y Europa y África en el este. Hacia el norte, el Atlántico se conecta con el Océano Ártico y hacia el Océano Austral hacia el sur.

Los científicos a menudo dividen el Atlántico en dos cuencas: el Atlántico Norte y el Atlántico Sur. El Atlántico Norte, donde las aguas se hunden después de ser enfriadas por las temperaturas árticas, es el comienzo del "transportador oceánico global", un patrón de circulación que ayuda a regular el clima de la Tierra.

El Océano Atlántico deriva su nombre del dios griego, Atlas.

How do you think debt and geographic factors affect farmers today?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

It was difficult for farmers to get out of debt because they had to plant a lot of crops and so the price of their crops went down and this made them in debt. They had to take loans and sometimes the loans made them pay large interest rates which also put them in debt. Economic factors such as subsidies, commodity prices, labour and immigration laws, cost of land, transport, capital and markets, etc. affect farming. Climatic factors such as light, water and rainfall, temperature, air, relative humidity and wind also affect farming.
