konstantin123 [22]

Answer: B

Explanation: The French and Indian war was mainly fighting for the land that the English were trying to take from the Native Americans (Indians). The Proclamation of 1763 was to divide the land so that both (now) neighboring ethnicity's could live in peace. The Salutary Neglect was a consequence of said Seven-Years War (French and Indian War). Because the war cause Britain to fall into a deep debt, they had to scrounge for the money to pay back the people that helped them. So, that's what led to the taxing, then eventually taxation without representation, then the Revolutionary War, where the colonies fought to break apart from their Mother Country (England/Britain).

In this excerpt from “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats, which four parts reflect the theme that art is immortal?

Andre45 [30]

This poem with 5 strophes underlines in 4th of them (1,2,3,5) that art is immortal. The théme of the poem is the immortality of art.

The speaker of the poem is a man who observes a Grecian urn and describes the frozen moment painted on it.

He describes it on the first moment, then he concludes time will never pass for the painted persons, finally, he remembers his generation and assumes they´ll be forgotten.

The frozen scene:

Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave

Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;

She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,

Forever wilt thou love, and she is fair!

Time will never pass:

Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed

Forever warm and still to be enjoyed,

Forever panting, and forever young;

The conclusion:

When old age shall this generation waste,

Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woes

Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

How did the seizure of the us embassy by iranian students affect americans' view of the world? what was the result of this crisi

SOVA2 [1]

Americans saw the Iran hostage crisis as an attack on America's views and the idea of diplomacy. In this scenario, the US saw the Iranian citizens as enemies, as they were repressing the rights of American citizens who happened to be working at that embassy. This resulted in President Jimmy Carter taking several actions against Iran, including ending oil imports from Iran and freezing Iranian assets in the US.

This 444 day crisis was ended with the Algiers Accords, which stated that the US would not get involved in Iranian affairs and the US government would remove the freeze on the Iranian assets.
