Answer:

The correct answer is B. The significance of the plane selections made by the terrorists on September 11 was that all four planes were traveling long distances, so they would have significant fuel on board to burn in the crashes.

Explanation:

The attacks were committed by 19 members of Al Qaeda, divided into four groups of kidnappers, each with a terrorist pilot who would be responsible for piloting the plane once the crew of the cabin was reduced. American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, which were supposed to go from Boston to Los Angeles, were the first to be hijacked, and both were crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the first against the North Tower and the second shortly thereafter against the South, causing that both skyscrapers collapsed in the next two hours.

The third hijacked plane belonged to American Airlines flight 77, that was covering the route from Washington DC to Los Angeles, and was used to be hit against the west side of the Pentagon in Virginia. The fourth plane, belonging to flight 93 of United Airlines, that was supposed to go from New Jersey to San Francisco, did not achieve any objective having crashed in the open field, near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after losing control in the cabin as a result of the confrontation of passengers and crew against the terrorist command. It aimed at the United States Capitol, located in the city of Washington D.C.

The __________ plan called for equal representation of each state in congress, regardless of the state's population
tekilochka [14]
There were two plans suggested for the representation in Congress.

One was the Virginia Plan, and the other was the New Jersey plan. The Virginia plan suggested that the states should get representation based on their population, and the New Jersey plan suggested the states would get equal representation.

Smaller states of course would favor the New Jersey plan, because they didn't want to lose power in Congress. 

They ended up compromising on this. They made the House of Representatives, which used the Virginia plan, and the Senate, which used the New Jersey plan. (The Senate has more power than the House of Reps)
