Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

On the 15th of April, 1980, our boat left the Mariel harbour. Our destination? The United States. I was what people referred to as a 'Marielito'; Meaning, a refugee from Cuba. You may be wondering why I left Cuba in a crowded boat alongside many others. I will explain.

The Cuban economy had just taken a downturn in 1980 and there were job shortages and housing problems. Fidel Castro was president at the time. Some Cubans broke into the Peruvian Embassy to seek asylum due to the hardship. I couldn't stand to survive the hardship the economic downturn brought. So, when the Castro regime announced in April that all Cubans who wished to leave to the United States were free to go, I chose to leave. I had a sister who had moved and settled in Florida earlier. She arranged for me to come to her.

I boarded a small boat at the port of Mariel in Havana and arrived Florida the next day.

d. the spacing effect.

Explanation:

The spacing effect postulates that the students who learn the course over the period of time in the term over its entire course are able to retain information better and become better learned than the ones that cram it only in the end.

This is because information is better processed when it is learned over a period of time given intervals to settle down and be part of the inner memory of a person before more chunks are introduced to the brain.

Answer:

Negative Feedback Loop

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by medical professionals, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this is an example of a Negative Feedback Loop. Negative feedback is a reaction that causes a a function to decrease because of some kind of stimulus. For example, if your body temperature is too high, a negative feedback loop will act to bring to normal levels by causing the body to sweat. Which is what is happening in the situation.
