Answer:
did George Washington did or didn't cut down a cherry tree (sorry for my grammar)
Explanation:
The right answer is C: It is a combination of two or more companies into a single firm. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 was aimed at banning monopolistic practices, deregulation is the process of removing state intervention in economic matters, and mergers can definitely go wrong and don't lead to economic growth.
The reasoning behind a merger is that two companies can do better if they combine their capabilities than if they act individually or separately, so they agree to establish a relationship. There are many different types of mergers, such as horizontal (the combination of two companies that sell the same product in the same market) and vertical (the combination of a company and a client), consolidation (when the two companies cease to exist and they create a brand new company) and purchase (when one company purchases another), among others.
Roosevelt does this by gradually comparing previous historical precedents of American history with the current moment. He starts his demonstrative enumeration with 1789, a very symbolic year since it is the year when the Constitution of the US came to have legal force (it is also the year of the French Revolution which is hardly a coincidence). Roosevelt delivered this speech before Congress on January 6th, 1941. Context is paramount here: at that point in time, WWII was well under way, and Nazi Germany and the Axis powers were winning victory after victory. France had already fallen (thence the date of 1789 is definitely not a coincidence), so had Norway, Denmark, Belgium, The Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, etc. the only major Western European country that still resisted Nazi Germany was the United Kingdom and Churchill was desperately in need of both material and moral support from America. The Nazi army seemed unstoppable and the Blitz was raging over London. Roosevelt shows that due to technological advances the world was much smaller than the previous antebellum world in which the great oceanic distances between America and Europe/Asia protect the former from invasion or political turmoil. Also, the viciousness and the hostility of the Axis made it inevitable that once they had secured dominance of Europe and its colonies, they would come for the USA. Because of such dangerous and imminent threats, this moment was unique in history and Roosevelt provided factual evidence of that in its speech.
The correct options are: "historical events - new ideas - contact with other cultures - social reform"
In the linguistic change we call external causes those that are motivated by sociolinguistic factors related to the history of the speakers of the language, such as their contacts with other people of other languages, the demographic factors and their cultural influences.
Thus, the massive existence of bilingualism in a human group, or the massive presence of loans from one language to another for reasons of technological, religious or cultural influence, has been supposed to provoke linguistic change. For example, the substrate theory, now discarded, was popular for some time, for which the main cause of the differentiation of Latin was that its speakers before Romanization spoke different languages and by transferring part of those features to the Latin they spoke they provoked the fragmentation. In the same type of ideas are based the influences of the superstrate (languages with native speakers in a terrorist that do not become the majority language of the speakers of the territory) over and of the adstrato (set of languages of adjacent territories).
