The ELASTIC clause is another name for the NECESSARY AND PROPER clause.

The "elastic" character of the "necessary and proper" clause is that it grants Congress  implied powers beyond the specifically stated ones in the Constitution..  After enumerating a number of the powers of Congress, including borrowing money, coining money, regulating commerce, etc, Section 8 of Article I of the Constitution closes by saying Congress shall have power "to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."  That's a quite broad and "elastic" statement, which goes beyond specifically delegated powers and gives Congress additional implied powers.  

An example of the implementation of such implied powers in the Constitution occurred when Alexander Hamilton, as our nation's first Secretary of the Treasury, argued in favor of establishing a national bank.  Hamilton believed that anything that is not strictly forbidden in the Constitution is allowable.  A national bank was not strictly listed as something Congress could establish, but there was nothing in the Constitution to prohibit it.  And the "necessary and proper" clause gave leeway to create it, by the implied powers given to Congress.

Mount Washington is in New Hampshire and is said to have what type of weather?
Keith_Richards [23]

The  Washington is in New Hampshire and is said to have the world’s rainiest climate of weather. Option D is correct.

<h3>What is climate?</h3>

The typical weather up in a particular place over a lengthy duration of time is considered as climate.

The average temperature in different seasons, rainfall, and sunshine are all included in a climatic description.

A discussion of the (possibility of) extremes is frequently included as well. The weather on Mount Washington is famously fickle.

Mount Washington is transformed into an Arctic outpost in a moderate climate zone throughout the winter,  snow, and ice, with sub-zero temperatures, hurricane-force winds.

In reality, the summit's winter conditions are comparable to those of Mount Everest, and was also the rainiest climate.

Therefore, option D is correct.
