Answer:

The colonial legacy that had the biggest influence in the conflicts of post-independence sub-Saharan Africa was the creation of boundaries that don't correspond with the interests and cultural traits of the people.

Explanation:

Several European countries managed to colonize Africa, some occupying larger territories while some smaller. All of them had a very similar effect on the aftermath though, with the majority of the colonized areas having conflicts after they gained independence. The biggest problem was the legacy of the colonizers in the form of setting up boundaries in accordance with the territories they had in sub-Saharan Africa.

Setting up artificial boundaries that don't correspond with the situation on the ground was disastrous. In almost all newly created sub-Saharan countries there were several ethnic and religious groups put in one border, and these were groups that had historically a lot of bad blood between them. Not being satisfied from the situation where one group usually took the leadership, or the majority suppressed or even committed genocide, resulted in a lot of violence and conflicts, so the countries were not and still aren't able to move forward.

Margarita [4]

Answer: b. Orchid mantises tend to be advantaged in habitats that remain constant; the rain forest habitat is likely to shift because of global climate change.

Explanation:

The orchid mantis is a predator in South East Asia that camouflages itself as an orchid to catch its prey.

While the tropical cockroach is a more hardy specie, the optimum habitat for orchid mantises is one with limited variation in temperature, moisture and humidity. Therefore, as temperatures increase and climate change results in severe weather changes, it will lead to adverse effects on orchid mantises.
