Answer:
a. Its consideration of environment impact (such as accommodation for fish) became a model for future dam projects on western rivers
Explanation:
The Columbia River project was a project of great significance for the whole region, especially for the state of Washington. This project had many positive impacts such as production of electricity, irrigation for more than half of the farmlands, development of the area, opening up new jobs. One very big problem though was the impact on the species of fish in the river. As most of them are migratory species, with the building of the dam they were stopped in their movement, thus they became restricted to the upper part of the river. Also, the water and composition of the water changed, and all of these things contributed to significant reduction of the populations of the native species of fish.

Answer:
The Democratic Party believes in cutting taxes for the middle and lower classes and raising them for the upper class. Democratic views on taxes also include the belief that an overhaul to the tax code and system are necessary. They vehemently oppose tax cuts such as those made by George W. Bush that provide relief to the wealthy in addition to the middle and lower classes, stating that the United States needs “a tax code that rewards work and creates wealth for more people, not a tax code that hoards wealth for those who already have it. With the middle class under assault like never before, we simply cannot afford the massive Bush tax cuts for the very wealthiest.” Democrats believe that, seeing as the 1990s were a prosperous time for America, tax code should be brought back to its state during this era.
Republican views on taxes include the belief that tax reduction is important, but must be done the right way. The party believes that budget surpluses have caused Americans to be overtaxed-a condition that is not only threatening their financial prosperity, but is also hindering (and possibly even reversing) growth to the country’s economy. They also want to limit the top marginal rate, believing it punishes those who have worked hard and invested well. Republicans also wish to make the Research and Development tax credit permanent. These three tax reforms combined, Republicans believe, will encourage and promote entrepreneurship. They also believe in encouraging saving and investments by implementing a tax credit for investments. However, despite their support for lowering taxes, Republicans do believe that tax cuts or tax incentives without any balancing spending cuts are detrimental to the economy.
I think the United States help Western European countries regain their economic strength in order to hold off the threat of communism by initiating the Marshall Plan.
