5 The Sacramento region used great power in the decade of the 1850s, in spite of its small resident population, when compared to

San Francisco. The largest portion of the state's population lived in the "Sacramento District." Sacramento representatives strongly influenced the State's Constitutional Convention, landed the permanent State Capitol, and elected the State's first governor. Sacramento’s influence was in large part due to its growth in commerce, particularly that portion related to transportation such as railroads and steamboats, as well as wholesale merchants who supplied retailers throughout California and Nevada. Those large-scale merchants of Sacramento saw their success tied to better wagon roads and railroads. In this sentence from paragraph five,

A) applied great power
B) exerted great power
C) employed great power
D) squandered great power

Answer: the LEAST effective replacement for the phrase "used great power": D) squandered great power

Explanation:

The phrase "used great power" <u>means that the Sacramento region </u><u>had great power/ great influence </u><u>in the decade of the 1850s.</u>

So <em>"applied great power", "exerted great power" and "employed great power" </em><u><em>could be considered synonyms of this phrase. </em></u>

The phrase "squandered great power" would be wrong to use in this context, because "to squander" means to "waste" and Sacramento wasn't wasting its power - quite the contrary, as it's said in the text Sacramento had a powerful voice -> "<em>Sacramento's influence was in large part due to its growth in commerce</em>, particularly that portion related to transportation".

Zolol [24]
The internet it is an outlet used by mostly adults and children though the internet has lots of information that should not be accessible to children. In my opinion society needs to spread more internet safety awareness regarding how the loads of information on the internet can positively or negatively impact children. In my opinion the internet is to advanced for children hence I why I feel that you should be 18+ to access the internet. I honestly feel there should be an experiment comparing how children who have accessed the internet function differently from those who haven’t.
