The correct answer is option B.

Edmond Halley correctly predicted the return of the eponymous comet Halley after he realized several sightings of a comet were in fact the same comet.

By correctly understanding Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravity and also his ideas in mathematics, Halley was able to correctly predict that the comet that now bears his name would return periodically. He did this by discovering Halley's orbit in 1716 and thus being able to predict the year of its return.

elena-s [515]

The correct answer is A) it could put pressure on the parents to support World War 1.

<em>The image had been useful for boys and girls in the early1900s in that it could put pressure on the parents to support World War 1.</em>

The United States government declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917, entering World War 1. The U.S. government needed money for the troops, weaponry, and supplies needed for the war. So one of the best ways to get the money was convincing the citizens to give money for the war effort. The way to do it: government bonds. The method to convince them: propaganda.  So President Wilson used this kind of propaganda using kids to influence parents to buy bonds and help with the war effort.
