The correct answer is B) the yellow fever outbreak.

The cause of the jump in prices was the yellow fever outbreak.

We are talking about 1793 in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This was a virus that provoked pain in joints and muscles, as well as fever. Then the virus affected the liver and the kidneys of the patient. Mosquitos were the transmissions of yellow fever. Refugees from the Philipines landed in Philadelphia and that is why they spread the virus in that region of the United States. This virus caused prices to go higher, affecting the economy of the region.

What is historically significant about this 1879 speech by Chief Joseph?

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

It is a direct and eloquent plea delivered in Washington for the equal treatment of all Native Americans.

Explanation:

Chief Joseph was a Native American who belonged to a tribe in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S.A. He fought for his people and their ancestral lands against the white settlers. But later on, he surrendered and was moved to the state of Washington.

In Washington D.C., he delivered his speech at the Lincoln Memorial Hall asking for the equal treatment of all Native Americans, just as the white people are being treated. He just wanted the Native Americans to be treated just as the rest of the men were treated with the freedom to travel, trade, work, shop, etc. as long as they obey the law.

So, this explains the answer.

If I understand the question right I would believe it to be 5 miles an hour because the course is a mile and he ran a mile in 12 minutes. We know an hour is 60 minutes so we have to divide the number of minutes he is talking from the hour. 60 divided by 12 is 5 so if he is running a mile every 12 minutes then he is running 5mph

Explain what the following figurative language means:

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The comparison of her smile with 'Mona Lisa' helps visually represent the idea/image of happiness.

Explanation:

Figurative language is characterized as the use of a language(words and phrases) which convey a more powerful and effective meaning beyond their literal meaning. It involves the use of imagery, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, etc. which allows the readers to visualize, associate, or develop other effect in their mind beyond the basic/literal meaning of the words.

In the given sentence, the comparison between 'her smile' and the 'smile of Mona Lisa' represents the 'idea of her happiness.' Mona Lisa's smile was enigmatic and ambiguous at the same time and thus, the author suggests the similar idea and leaves it to the readers interpretation and allows them to visualize and associate to it accordingly.
