Answer:

<h2>The Wilmot Proviso stated that slavery should be prohibited in territories acquired after the Mexican-American War.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced the proviso as an amendment to an appropriations bill in connection with the peace treaty being negotiated with Mexico.  His amendment stipulated that any territory gained from Mexico would be free, not allowing slavery.  Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate.

Wilmot's reason for his proposal was not because he was defending the cause of blacks or seeking to outlaw slavery. In a speech he delivered in the House of Representatives in 1847, Wilmot said: "I make no war upon the South nor upon slavery in the South. I have no squeamish sensitiveness upon the subject of slavery, nor morbid sympathy for the slave. I plead the cause of the rights of white freemen. I would preserve for free white labor a fair country, a rich inheritance, where the sons of toil, of my own race and own color, can live without the disgrace which association with Negro slavery brings upon free labor."

Witch of the following was not a motive for imperialism in the nineteenth century? To expand the territory of western nations.
RSB [31]
To offer medical assistance to Third World countries.

The imperialism movement of the 19th century did not show particular concern for the native peoples in the regions they came to control through imperialistic means.  There were medical missions and religious missions that accompanied the imperialistic advance into other countries, but those were factors that accompanied the imperialistic advance more than they motivated it.  
Also, as a false component of that option, the term "Third World" didn't come into existence until the era of the Cold War.  The "Third World" referred to the developing nations that did not align with either of the superpowers, the USA or the USSR.   No one was using the term "Third World" in the 19th century.

Which scientist’s notebooks are still too radioactive to handle?
gavmur [86]
<h2>Answer: Marie Curie </h2>

Marie Curie's notebooks, as well as all of her belongings, including her clothes, were contaminated with ionizing radiation. In fact, those of her husband also, because this couple of scientists discovered the radioactivity of several elements, helping the advance of science, but <u>did not know about the consequences of dealing with these materials without adequate protection. </u>

It should be noted that Curie's notes are stored in the basements of the National Library of France, stored in thick lead boxes and those who wish to access these documents must follow the appropriate protocol to treat radioactive material, wear appropriate clothing and sign a responsibility  agreement before allowing them to review the documents.
