The islands shown on the map were acquired by the United States to function as trading ports and naval bases, and to increase American influence in the Pacific region.

For example, Hawaii was annexed in 1898 by the United States to strengthen the American strategic presence in the Pacific Ocean. The same happened with Guam and the Philippines, obtained after the victory in the war with Spain.

All these islands were acquired with the intention of strengthening the American presence in the Pacific, through the creation of military bases.

Answer:

<h3>People can become quite convinced of events that never happened.</h3>

Explanation:

In an attempt to educate the law and public about false memory that psychotherapy can indict upon an individual, Elizabeth Loftus and her colleagues (Loftus, 2003; Loftus, Coan, and Pickrell, 1996) conducted a research that tried to establish that false memory can be used to convince someone of crimes they haven't committed.

In their research, they successfully convinced some participants that they had been lost for a period of time when they were only five years old. The participants believed that they were actually lost though it was not true in reality. The research did not just end there, the researchers also conducted other similar experiments related to false memory distortion and the results were quite successful.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

As part of a study in auditory perception, a group of students was made to listen to a low-volume music track. When they first put on their headphones, they almost couldn’t hear anything. But as they became more attentive, the sound gradually became clearer. This is an example of _________.

a. retinal disparity

b. pitch increase

c. sensitization

d. subliminal stimulation

Answer:

This is an example of C. sensitization.

Explanation:

According to the given scenario, the sound was not altered. Its volume, its pitch - everything remained the same. There was, however, an alteration in people's perception of the sound, and that is due to a process known as sensitization. Sensitization happens when a certain stimulus becomes more effective because of repetition or continuation. That is, because people kept on listening to the sound, even though it was low, they were able to hear it after a while.
