The correct answers are A and B, as both construction problems and yellow fever were the two major difficulties faced by the Panama Canal project.

A: CONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS --- In September of 1882, when an earthquake shook the isthmus, there was a sludge of mud that made the ground in which the canal was being built unstable, so the works and traffic of the railways had to be interrupted for some time . This event led to a decline in the share price of the company on the Paris stock exchange, which went bankrupt in February 1889.

Without financial support, the head of the construction work, Bunau-Varilla, went to the US government, which decided to cede the rights of exploitation and construction of the Panama Canal and control of the area around it. The Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty, signed on November 18, 1903, validated this operation

B: YELLOW FEVER --- This epidemic, unknown by doctors, claimed hundreds of lives. The patients were treated by the sisters of San Vicente de Paul in the two hospitals they had, one in the province of Colon, with 200 beds, and another in the foothills of Cerro Ancón, known as Notre Dame.

The medical staff, who did not know what the cause of the yellow fever epidemic was, put buckets of water on the legs of the hospital beds, which served as breeding grounds for the mosquitoes, the true cause of the illnesses. This caused that many workers refused, even, to go to the hospital to receive medical attention.

In 1882 the epidemic had claimed the lives of 125 employees.

Which best describes a challenge in the Middle East resulting from oil production?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

1- The challenge in the Middle East resulting from oil production is that money made from oil is often invested abroad.

2- The group that used terrorism in the late twentieth century is Hezbollah.

3- A response to the terrorist attack against the United States on September 11, 2001 was the invasion of Afghanistan.

Explanation:

1- The economy in the Middle East ranges from the poorest countries in the world (such as Yemen) to developing nations (such as Iran and Saudi Arabia). The three countries with the highest GDP in 2006 were: Qatar ($ 36,632), United Arab Emirates ($ 34,109) and Kuwait ($ 20,886).

The economic structure of the countries of the Middle East are different in the sense that while some nations are only dependent on exporting oil and its derivatives (Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait), others have a large economic base (Turkey and Egypt).

Basically, this shows us that despite being the largest producers of the most valued good in the world, their economies do not benefit from this exploitation as they should, but that a large part of the profits goes to the great international powers, owners of the operating companies.

2- Hezbollah is a Lebanese Shiite terrorist organization that has a political arm and a paramilitary arm. It was founded in Lebanon in 1982 in response to Israeli intervention at that time and was trained, organized and founded by a contingent of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Hezbollah receives arms, training and financial support from Iran and Syria.

3- The war in Afghanistan initially faced the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, ruled by the Taliban, and, once overthrown, its insurgency, on the one hand, and an international coalition commanded by the United States. It began on October 7, 2001 with the "Operation Enduring Freedom" of the US Army and "Operation Herrick" of British troops, launched to invade and occupy the Asian country. The invasion was unleashed in response to the attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States, of which this country blamed Osama bin Laden.
