The correct answer is “The same group of letters in English can be pronounced in many different ways” Option A
In the English language there are 26 letters but 44 phonic sounds. There different ways to pronounce a letter, for example the a in apple is different than the a in car or ball that it also happens with the c in cat and ceiling. The Letter combinations can create new sounds like the ch, sh, and ea. What it’s more, one sound can be denoted by up to four letters like the a in apple, the ph in phone, the eau in plateau, and the eigh in eight. And of course, what makes it even harder is that the combinations of letters aren’t necessarily pronounced in the same way for example the ch in chair versus chorus or the ea in eagle versus earth.
Brockdorff-Rantzau was Germany's foreign minister when the Treaty of Versailles was signed. The treaty was meant to put an end to World War I.
Initially, the German delegation had great trust in the process, as they had been promise a treaty that would ensure "a peace without victory." However, what they obtained was very different. Brockdorff-Rantzau believed the terms of the treaty to be extremely harsh towards Germany. The country lost 13 percent of its territory and 10 percent of its population. Moreover, it was denied membership in the League of Nations, forced to pay significant reparations and forced to claim that they took sole responsibility for the war.
The delegates explained this by justifying the amount of destruction that they believed Germany was responsible for, and by referring to the actions of Germany during the war. Despite a great amount of debate, Germany was eventually forced to sign the treaty, creating a lot of resentment in the country.
The correct answer is bilateral (D).
<em>A bilateral system</em> means a government with two legislative houses.The federal government in the USA uses the bilateral system and so do all the states with the exception of Nebraska. The bicameral system in the U.S consists of: The House of Representatives and the Senate. Each house has different requirements to serve and each house has unique powers.
The correct answer is checks, balances (C).
<em>Checks and balances </em>are a tool used in a political system to decrease the risk of centralization of power. They ensure that no one person or department has an absolute control over decisions. Checks and balances create separation of powers. In the U. S. checks and balances are exercised through its three branches of government: the legislative, the executive and the judicial. Each branch has special abilities. The legislative branch makes the laws but the executive branch gives the veto power to the president to veto these laws if necessary. The judicial branch may deem certain laws unconstitutional thus making them void.
Answer:
Aging populations
Explanation:
The industrialized countries are facing a big demographic problem in the past few decades. The problem is the aging population. The living conditions in this countries are the best in the world, so they have high life expectancy, and while that is good, a problem occurs because the birthrates are very low. The birthrates are so low that they can not even simply sustain the same number of the population. This situation leads to fewer and fewer young people, and more and more elderly people, so the population pyramid is becoming wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
