The best description of the historical impact of James K. Polk's presidency would have to that he expanded the United States to the Pacific Ocean. As the 11th president, Polk believed in manifest destiny, a popular idea in the United States during the 1800s. Polk and others like him believed that the country should expand its boundaries to the Pacific Ocean, and that this was our nation's fate. Early during his presidency, Polk annexed Texas in 1845 and made Oregon part of the United States in 1846. After this, Polk was determined to gain California and New Mexico territories from Mexico to guarantee clear passage to the Pacific Ocean. Polk saw California and New Mexico as rightfully belonging to the United States. After provoking a war with Mexico in 1846, the United States gained the Mexican Cession in 1848. The Mexican Cession relinquished the provinces of California and New Mexico to the United States in exchange for $15 million dollars. The continental United States was nearly complete at the end of Polk's single term in office, which is his primary legacy.

<em>Minnesota, constituent state of the United States of America. It became the 32nd state of the union on May 11, 1858. A small extension of the northern boundary makes Minnesota the most northerly of the 48 conterminous U.S. states. (This peculiar protrusion is the result of a boundary agreement with Great Britain before the area had been carefully surveyed.) Minnesota is one of the north-central states. It is bounded by the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario to the north, by Lake Superior and the state of Wisconsin to the east, and by the states of Iowa to the south and South Dakota and North Dakota to the west. </em>

The correct answer is D. To equal that of Brahman.

Explanation

In Hinduism, the atman is a concept to refer to the essence of the individual. This in turn is related to Brahman (the essential unit of everything that exists in the universe). So, the relationship between atman and Brahman is that Brahman, being the essential unit of everything existing in the universe, encompasses the essence of being, that is, atman in a singular sense. Moreover, the atman or indivudual should work to become or to equal the Brahman. So the correct answer is D. To equal that of Brahman.
