Answer:

A. An inexpensive, light-weight plastic baffle was placed between the front of the gas tank and the differential housing.

Explanation:

In 1967, the Ford Pinto was developed, and Ford intended to launch a small and carefree American car into the market.

The result was a car that went out of production with two serious series defects: on the one hand, the tank, located on the rear axle - a common practice in those years by more car manufacturers - made cars explode very easily since the fuel tank broke when the car suffered a small impact from behind since its weak structures did not prevent the differential bolts from ending up in the tank when moving. Thus the fuel ended up spilling and causing a great fire to jump the slightest spark after the impact; on the other hand, a crash from behind at about 40 km / h left the vehicle as an accordion and blocked the doors. A combination that made the Ford Pinto a terrible deadly trap.

What provision of the Sugar Act did colonists view as a violation of their rights as Englishmen?
Georgia [21]

The violation of their constitutional rights as Englishmen was that they were being taxed for the sole purpose of raising money for the Crown, without having any say in the decision-making process.

The 1764 Sugar Act created new taxes on goods like sugar, coffee, and cloth brought into the colonies.

The English colonists in America viewed the Sugar Act as a tax which Parliament had no right to impose onto them, because they didn't have any representatives in Parliament and they were supposed to be represented and governed by colonial assemblies.
