Answer:  Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward

<u>Details:</u>

"Watergate" refers to efforts by persons working for President Nixon's reelection campaign to spy on their opponents at Democratic party headquarters, and subsequent efforts to cover up those crimes.

The first break-in attempt by burglars working on Nixon's behalf occurred  in May, 1972, as persons connected to the Nixon reelection campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, DC.  They were planting wire-taps on the Democrats' phone lines, and also stole copies of documents.  When the wire-taps didn't work properly, they broke in again (in June) to try to fix the surveillance devices, but they were caught.

An insider at the FBI who remained anonymous at the time, known only as "Deep Throat," began to give information concerning Watergate to reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post.   Persistent investigative reporting by Woodward and Bernstein brought the scandal to light and forced Congressional hearings.   (Note:  Years later it was revealed that Deep Throat was Mark Felt, who at the time was Associate Director of the FBI.)

Nixon's role in Watergate was especially in his efforts and those of members of his staff to cover up what had happened.  Ultimately, the Watergate affair brought down the Nixon presidency.  He resigned in order to avoid impeachment.  And the whole affair made Americans more distrusting of government.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

the new cloak

Explanation:

The new cloak represents the change that Odysseus went through in front of everyone. That's because the cloak was used when Odysseus disguised himself as a beggar, it gave him a weak, irrelevant, fragile and dying image, but the new cloak gave him the grandeur he had as a hero, letting him look like a god and he was a man totally different from what he looked like or what they thought of him.

inna [77]
Hello!

The correct answer is A: The Declaration of Independence. 

The declaration was ratified on July 4, 1776. However, it was not signed until early August later that year. The approval of the Declaration of Independence is the reason that Independence Day is celebrated every year on the Fourth of July. 

I hope this helps you! Have a great day!
