Answer: The correct answer is the first one.

Explanation:

The Boston Massacre, that took place on March 5, 1770, was part of a series of events that took place during the American Revolution between 1765 and 1783.

John Adams, a further U.S President was request to defend captain Preston and the soldiers involved in the confrontation. With other renowned lawyer of the time, Josiah Quincy II, he lead the case resulting in the acquittal of captain Preston and six other soldiers; the other two soldiers were found guilty of manslaughter.

Three years after the trial, in his autobiography <u><em>Diary and Autobiography of John Adams</em></u><u> </u><u><em>volume 2</em></u><em> </em>he established: <em>"he Part I took in Defence of Cptn. Preston and the Soldiers, procured me Anxiety, and Obloquy enough. It was, however, one of the most gallant, generous, manly and disinterested Actions of my whole Life, and one of the best Pieces of Service I ever rendered my Country" </em>proving he was proud to take the case, and then <em>"Judgment of Death against those Soldiers would have been as foul a Stain upon this Country as the Executions of the Quakers or Witches, anciently. As the Evidence was, the Verdict of the Jury was exactly right" </em>showing that we completely agreed with the verdict.

Straighterline the lowest or most basic needs in maslow's classification system are called _______ needs.
Keith_Richards [23]

Straighterline the lowest or most basic needs in maslow's classification system are called <u>"biological"</u> needs.


Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology containing a five-level model of human needs, frequently delineated as progressive levels inside a pyramid.  

"Biological/Physiological" needs are the physical prerequisites for human survival. In the event that these necessities are not met, the human body can't work and will eventually fall flat. Physiological necessities are believed to be the most imperative and they are needs that ought to be met first.

Explain to Cheri the importance of attending the scheduled interview. Describe a way Cheri could overcome the current obstacles.
Svetach [21]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Cheri is a single parent and works very hard to balance her classwork, current job requirements, children's needs, and household chores. Cheri is exhausted. Cheri is also beginning to interview for jobs in her new career. Cheri has an interview scheduled. On the interview day, one of Cheri's children gets sick and her car breaks down. Cheri feels like giving-up.

Explain to Cheri the importance of attending the scheduled interview. Describe a way Cheri could overcome the current obstacles. Share a “back-up plan” that you have created in the event you encounter a situation similar to Cheri’s predicament. "

Answer:

Cheri should do the interview as this can provide her with a better job that will increase the quality of life for her and her children.

Although her son is sick and her car is broken, a scheduled interview can be conducted over the phone, or video call, she should see if these options are available, otherwise it would be important for her to find someone reliable to care for her son while she was out and used public transport to get to the interview site.

If I were in a situation similar to Cheri's, my Backup plan would be to leave my son with my mother, or someone I trust and know all the times of public transport, so that I wouldn't be late, in case I couldn't use my car.

Scheduled interviews are interviews conducted in real time between a job seeker and the interviewers. This type of interview can be conducted in person, with the candidate going to the place where the interviewers are. However, there has been an increasing number of scheduled interviews over the phone or video call, which is a great option.
