1. One possible positive consequence of Japanese isolation that Hall points out is that it ensured peace for the country, and allowed it to develop its political and economic institutions without foreign influence, which was a large problem at the time for developing countries. Foreign influence often inhibited development of developing countries, so closure prevented this.
2. The main fear which caused the shogun to close Japan to the West was the growing influence of Christianity, and the effect it would have on Japan's political world. Christianity is predominantly a Western religion, and having that sort of Western influence upon a developing country could have detrimental effects on the country, like political division.
3. Spain's activities in the Philippines served as a warning to the Japanese by showing them that by sending missionaries to a country and converting the populous, you could essentially take over the country. This inclined the Japanese government to institute new policies that would prevent missionary activity in the country, by forbidding Spain, as well as Portugal, from visiting the country.
This question is confusing, but I think it's yes.

The correct answer is D. 70% or below
Explanation:
The term national elections refer to mainly the elections of the president and vice president of the U.S. that take place every four years and in which citizens from all states of the United States are asked to vote, this date usually coincides with other federal or local elections. Even though this election system has been used for many years it has been widely criticized, one of the reason for this is the low percentage of citizens that vote in national elections as this can imply this system is not really democratic as the opinion of the majority of U.S. citizens is not reflected on the elections, in this way during the elections of 2004 the percentage of eligible population that voted was 60.1%,and in in 2008 this percentage was 61.4%, which was the highest percentage since 1968 which suggest in most election the percentage has been near to 70% or under 70%. Thus, the percentage of eligible Americans that vote on national elections is around 70% or below.
