The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Explain how "the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of the world made a maximum military effort with everything short of atomic bombs, to defeat a nationalist revolutionary movement in a tiny, peasant country-and failed."

The reasons are the following.

The United States had established the foreign policy of containment during the Cold War years to stop the spread of communism. It was the time in which the United States competed with the Soviet Union in the arms race, the space race, and the spread/containment of communism.

North Vietnam was supported by the Soviet Union, which is why the United States helped South Vietnam and got into the Vietnam War.

However, it was not a United States war, and the country never committed to that. Yes, the federal government sent troops, supplies, machinery, aircraft, and weapons, but experts said there was never really a sound strategy to fight in that complicated territory.

The US Army invaded a foreign territory, a jungle, one with many complexities: geographic, weather, and strategical complexities

The Tet Offensive was considered the turning point in the Vietnam War in that it convinced Americans that the war wasn't nearly over.

The North Vietnam army launched a series of attacks over South Vietnam's positions. It was known as the Tet Offensive and served to send a message to the United States troops that this war was not theirs.  When US citizens watched the news they started to question US participation in the Vietnam War. Groups of students and civil rights movements took the streets in major US cities to protests against the war.

1. Did Troy really exist?
jonny [76]

Answer:

Yes, Troy did exist.

Explanation:

Most historians now agree that ancient Troy was to be found at Hisarlik. Troy was real. Evidence of fire, and the discovery of a small number of arrowheads in the archaeological layer of Hisarlik that corresponds in date to the period of Homer's Trojan War, may even hint at warfare.

Why is the loess problematic for the yellow river
Ksju [112]

Answer:

It is full of minerals and drains water very well

Explanation:

It is full of minerals and drains water very well. It is easily tilled, or broken up, for planting seeds. Loess usually erodes very slowly—Chinese farmers have been working the loess around the Yellow River for more than a thousand years.

Loess soils are among the most fertile in the world, principally because the abundance of silt particles ensures a good supply of plant-available water, good soil aeration, extensive penetration by plant roots, and easy cultivation and seedbed production.

The loess helped china's farmers by its summer rains, huge amounts of it are washed into the huang. when the huang floods the north china plain, the silt deposits create a unique environment. this loess silt helps farmers because it is fine, rock free, and very fertile.

Read through "Birches" again to identify any three metaphors Frost uses. Change the metaphors that you found into similes.
Orlov [11]
He utilizes climbing birches and returning back to earth as an analogy for the innovative, hazard remove a portion of life, before the "certainties" of life assume control for every one of us: Below are the 3 metaphors Frost uses:



<span>When I see birches bend to left and right
Across the line of straighter, darker trees,
I like to think some boy's been swinging them.
But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay.
Ice storms do that. Often you must have seen them (5)


</span><span>Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away
You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen.
They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load,
And they seem not to break; though once they are bowed (15)
</span>

<span>Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning
After a rain. They click upon themselves
As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel.
Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells (10)</span>
