Answer:

The Progressive Amendments

Explanation:

Named after the time period in which they were amended (The Progressive Era, 1896-1916), the Progressive Amendments include:

<em><u>16) Income Tax:</u></em> "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

<em><u>17) Popular Election of Senators:</u></em> "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.

When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.

This amendment shall not be so construed as to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before it becomes valid as part of the Constitution."

<em><u>18) Prohibition of Intoxicating Liquids </u></em><u><em>(Alcohol / Later repealed by the 21st amendment)</em></u><em><u>:</u></em> "Section. 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.

Sec. 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Sec. 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress."

<em><u>19) Women's Suffrage Rights:</u></em> "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Arada [10]

Answer: d) The "space race" was a Cold War competition by scientist.

Explanation: D is the best option because it puts "space race" as the subject of the sentence.

The subject is the main focus of the sentence.

Option A does this as well, but the sentence is very wordy and does not do enough to draw attention to "the space race".

Option B keeps the scientists as the subject of the sentence.

Option C makes the "space race" part of a prepositional phrase which can be eliminated.

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
