The third answer is correct (C).

Francis Townsend was an American writer and physician who created the first embryo of what would become the Social Security Program. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Townsend suggested that the US government adopt a retirement plan for the elderly. The Old Age Revolving Pension Plan.

<u>According to the Old Age Revolving Pension Plan, the government could fund a retirement plan through a 2% rate on commercial transactions to retire senior citizens with a value between $ 60 to $ 200,</u> an amount that corrected for present value would be up to $ 2,600. In this scenario, the elderly retirees would be compelled to spend their pensions inside the country and would drop the jobs, generating employment to the younger ones. In this way, the economy would be doubly stimulated, with more jobs and income.

The line dividing regions 4 &amp; 5 on this map is known as the "Fall Line." Which of these represents an important factor of th
AVprozaik [17]

The Georgia Fall Line resulted during prehistoric times when the ocean, which covered a large portion of what is nowadays Georgia receded and marked the boundary division between the coastal plains and the famous Piedmont region of the state. It is especially important because of the rivers that originated at the piedmont region and flowed into the coastal plains because at the coastal plains, these bodies of water were more navigable while in the piedmont region it was not possible. Because large boats could navigate through the coastal region rivers but not the piedmont ones, trading posts surged along the coastal plains but not the piedmont. From this development were born four of the most important cities of Georgia, which were also, throughout the state´s history, the capital.

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Their sculptures and artifacts.

Explanation:

The Olmecs were extremely talented artists and sculptors: they produced many statues, masks, figurines (Yes, figurines were a thing back then), stelae (I know you're confused. A stela (the singular form of stelae) is an upright stone or column typically bearing a commemorative inscription or relief design, often serving as a gravestone.), thrones and more. However, they are best known for their colossal heads, 17 of which have been found at four different archaeological sites.

The first picture is an Olmec head, and the second is a stela.
