Answer:

Colonial boycotts of British goods before the Revolutionary war reduced the profits of the British merchants.

Explanation:

There were laws like Townsend Acts, passed in 1767 imposed taxes on tea, glass, paint, lead import. Colonists protested the same saying that these taxes violated their rights as British citizens. They thus started boycotting British goods i.e. stopped buying them. This boycott of British goods led to a series of boycotts which ultimately led to the American revolution.

Boycotts reduced the profits of British merchants. So, they even petitioned Parliament to revoke the Townshend Acts.

Answer:

blind

Explanation:

To quantify the extent of atherosclerosis, each pathologist looked at every autopsy specimen and assigned a score. To keep the pathologists from knowing the source of the tissues beforehand, the study was blind to the pathologists.

Atherosclerosis is a disease resulting from the build up of fats around the arteries which could cause blood flow restriction or even bursting of the artery resulting in hemorrhage. It is more common in obesed individuals.

The advantage of blinding the pathologist from knowing the source of the tissues is to increase objectivity in their analysis and remove any form of biased judgement based on the source of the tissue. For example, if the pathologist is aware that the source of the tissue is from an extremely obese man, he/she may likely give it a higher score.

List at least TWO ways desertification in Africa is effecting the environment, from the Sahel to the rainforest.

"Desertification causes the savannas in the Sahel to disappear. It also causes the already vast Sahara desert to spread to more places than just where it currently is. So in short... the Sahel and rain forests are shrinking and the Sahara is growing." (Answers.com)
