Answer:

<em>D. House Un-American Activities Committee.</em>

Explanation:

Because the Cold War escalated, it became recognized as the Red Scare, the hysteria over the supposed danger posed by communists in the USA.

The Government of the United States responded by establishing the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), tasked with detecting communist dangers to the U.S.

HUAC was founded in 1938 to prosecute suspected treachery and subversive behavior by private individuals, public workers and institutions accused of communist connections.

Americans who are accused of having ties with the Communist Party will be prosecuted in court.

What conditions made Georgia favorable for producing rice during the Colonial Era?
Yuliya22 [10]

The correct answer is C. the number of inland freshwater swamps around the coast. During the 1730´s, when the colony of Georgia was established, the cultivation of rice was in a high level in South Carolina. After many Georgians saw the benefits of slave work in rice plantations was profitable. Another important fact is the amount of rivers that Georgia has, which was linked to the freshwater swamps on the coast.  Serious rice production was developed in the freshwater swamps and along the main tidal rivers, such as the Ogeechee, Savannah River, Altamaha, St. Mary’s and the Satilla. Since wet rice was more demanding to cultivate than any other kind, rice plantations started moving inland as a result of the development in agriculture such as irrigation systems, levees, ditches, culverts, and other constructions.
