7 0

Answer:

The option that best describes gerrymandering is Option C.  Districts are drawn to make sure that they favor candidates from one political party.

Explanation:  

The term gerrymandering is named after Elbridge Gerry, who signed a bill creating a partisan district so he could win as the Governor of Massachusetts in 1812. It is alleged that lawmakers use their power sometimes to redraw district lines against what are called "majority-minority districts." In elections, such districts where the minority is in the majority can affect election outcomes as minority group voters like African Americans or Hispanic Americans vote against the more conventional, status quo candidates and incumbents.

In the chart below, examine the reactions of various groups to the Marshall Plan. Then fill out the rest of the chart with
Mamont248 [21]

Based on the reactions to the Marshall plan, the following are the explanations:

  • Western Europe - It would lead to their economies recovering.
  • Eastern Europe - Wanted their economies to recover as well.
  • Soviet Union - Did not want to lose control of her Soviet satellites.
  • United States - Would prevent Communism and increase American trade.

<h3>Why were nations opposed or in favor of the Marshall plan?</h3>

The plan saw the United States sending massive aid to European nations. Both Western and Eastern European nations needed it to rebuild their economy but the Soviet Union refused for the Eastern Europeans to access the plan.

The Soviet Union was worried that the plan would allow for the United States to gain influence in Eastern Europe and so were against it.

The Americans were in favor because a strong European economy meant that America could trade with them and it would also prevent Communism from spreading.

A. Philo T Farnsworth

Philo T Farnsworth was a lone wolf inventor who worked on the development of the television. By saying he is a lone wolf, we meant he worked independently and without affiliation to any organization in developing and executing his ideas about the invention of the television.

Although he worked in his owned small private laboratory in San Francisco, this was not possible without getting financial backers who were interested in his research. They are the ones that made the finance of his invention project a possibility
