The effect of Sputnik 1 could best be described in what way?

2 answers:

3 0

The launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite created by the USSR, generated a big reaction from the United States. The United States wanted to get a technological advance to the Soviet Union, as they were currently in a period of the Cold War where the arms races and space race was heavy. It also created the effect across the United States that the US was not the most technologically advanced country and that the Soviet Union was not as backwards as it had been stated as being.

Answer: The US took steps to catch up and surpass the Soviets in the space race.

Details:

The Sputnik satellite was sent into orbit by the USSR on October 4, 1957. The Soviets announced its mission as a scientific one, to study the solar system. In the Cold War atmosphere, of course, Americans were wary of what other motives the USSR might have had. The Soviets launched Sputnik 2 in November, 1957, with a dog on board. The USA scrambled to get its own satellite program operational, launching the first US satellite, Explorer, on January 1, 1958.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was founded in July, 1958, to continue the United States' advance in space technology.

KIM [24]

Answer:

D. The civilization had a functioning government in place that decided the law of the land.

Explanation:

The discovery of the official-looking seal and the clay tablet containing the laws which the civilization have to follow shows that they have a functioning government. This means that the society has a leader and they followed a set of rules.

It wasn't clearly stated in the statement whether the head was a king but it mentioned that the seal was much like what a king would use. So we cannot conclude that all civilizations were ruled by kings. This makes choice A incorrect. 

Based on the information given, we're not sure whether it was the king who wrote the rules on the clay tablets. This makes choice B incorrect.

The statements above didn't show any evidence that the rulers were governors and not kings, so we cannot assume as well. This makes choice C incorrect.
