The correct answer is True

Explanation:

The phases of the moon or lunar phases refer to the sunlit portion of the moon, which is the natural satellite of the Earth, that is observable from Earth. The portion that is visible changes over time as the Moon moves around the Earth and the Earth around the Sun which leads to four principal phases including new moon, the first quarter, the full moon and the third quarter that create a cycle that lasts around 29 days in which the visibility of the moon from the Earth changes from 0% in the new moon to 100% in the full moon. This means the phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted or sunlit side of the moon can be seen according to the position of the moon and the sun, which makes the statement of the question true.

That statement is true

We see the moon as we see today only because sunlight reflect it back to us from it's surface.
Depending on how much sun light it is, the reflected part sometime is only half a circle, quarter if circle, etc

hope this helps

The period when a few people try to draw attention to a particular social issue that is not in the public consciousness describe

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Emergence

Explanation:

A social movement has 4 different stages, according to sociology. These stages are:

Emergence: There is a widespread discontent but not much organizations, some people are discontent but they haven't taken any actions just yet or if they have, these actions are not strategic or collective.
Coalescence: There is a more defined sense of discontent, the people already know why and who is the sense of discontent. Leadership emerges and some actions start to take place. Also the media starts covering these kind of news.
Bureaucratization: The social movement has had some success and they can no longer rely in the members to do all the duties but they need trained staff.
Decline: Also called "institutionalization". It is important to notice that decline doesn't mean failure and some movements go through institutionalization by finding a institutionalized way to protect themselves.

In this example, the period when a few people try to draw attention to a particular social issue that is not in the public consciousness is clearly describing the stage of emergence.

alex41 [277]

Answer: D) "Since horses were not introduced to the Americas until Columbus, the Aztecs and Incas did not use horses or advanced weapons, while the Afro-Eurasians had highly developed cavalries and weaponry."

The answer is not A because Afro-Eurasia was composed of giant empires and governments, not small ones. The answer is not B because slavery was acceptable in the Incan and Aztec empires as well as in the Afro-Eurasia. Finally, it can't be C because in Afro-Eurasian governments, only a few were centered on religious beliefs, not all.
