The reason why has to do with law, marriage and a family that disagreed with their patriarch's evolving views on slavery. Like nearly all wealthy landowners in Virginia, George Washington owned enslaved people who worked his land. He received the first enslaved workers of his own when his father died in 1743.
Answer:(B)that the city air became increasingly acidic the closer one came to town

(A)The comparatives used in A are 'the closer ... the more. The correct way of writing this would be the more one came ... the more the city air became...'
Another <u><em>mistake in A is redundancy - 'more' and 'increasingly'.

(B)that the city air became increasingly acidic the closer one came to town
No redundancy. Conveys the meaning well.
(C)that coming closer to town, the city air became increasingly acidic.(example of dangling modifier)
(D)that the more the city air became increasingly acidic, the closer one was to town.(It is the example of inverse cause-effect.)
(E)the city air becoming increasingly acidic as one would come closer to town( use of <u>would come i</u>s wrong here)
Henry Wallace's description of American foreign policy was somewhere between the positions of President Truman and Soviet ambassador Novikov. Wallace acknowledged that America's policy was an attempt to establish and safeguard democracy in other nations. But he also noted that attempts to do so in Eastern Europe would inevitably be seen by the Soviets as a threat to their security, even as an attempt to destroy the Soviet Union.
President Truman's position (as stated in the speech in March, 1947, in which he laid out the "Truman Doctrine"), was that those who supported a free and democratic way of life had to oppose governments that forced the will of a minority upon the rest of society by oppression and by controlling the media and suppressing dissent.
Soviet ambassador Nikolai Novikov went as far as to accuse the Americans of imperialism as the essence of their foreign policy, in the telegram he sent sent to the Soviet leadership in September, 1946.
Henry Wallace had been Vice-President of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1941-1945, prior to Harry Truman serving in that role. When Truman became president after FDR's death, Wallace served in the Truman administration as Secretary of Commerce. After his letter to President Truman in July, 1946, and other controversial comments he made, Truman dismissed Wallace from his administration (in September, 1946). Truman and Wallace definitely did not see eye-to-eye on foreign policy, especially in regard to the Soviet Union.
<u>Answer:</u>
Acceleration can be defined as the rate at which velocity is changes by an object.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Acceleration is a quantity of vectors which is characterized as the rate at which an entity shifts its velocity. An object accelerates when its velocity is shifting. The acceleration unit is meters per second squared. As velocity is a speed and a direction, two methods from which one can accelerate: change your speed or change your direction or change both.
If one don't change its pace and also donot change its direction then he or she simply won't be able to accelerate, no matter how quickly one go. Therefore, a jet traveling at a constant speed of 800 miles per hour along a single direction has zero acceleration, although the plane goes very fast, as the speed is not increasing.

Explanation: Norman Conquest, the military conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy, primarily effected by his decisive victory at the Battle of Hastings (October 14, 1066) and resulting ultimately in profound political, administrative, and social changes in the British Isles.

William got rid of all the Saxon nobles and imposed the feudal system on England.
