Answer:
John Cabot
Newfoundland has strong claims to being the longest serving colony in the British Empire. It could even claim to being the oldest colony if you are not counting Wales, Ireland and the Channel Islands. It was claimed for the English as long ago as 1497 by John Cabot working on behalf of the British Crown.
Answer:
Patricians
Explanation:
Patricians were considered the upper-class in early Roman society. They controlled the best land and made up the majority of the Roman senate.
The question is kind of tricky. D-Day was the code word for the Allied invasion of France, so D is definitely a possible answer. But the PURPOSE of that invasion was in part to defend Britain, which at the time was being threatened by Nazi air attacks and by a possible Nazi invasion. So A is possible as well.
The overthrow of Mussolini was certainly a factor in the Allied strategy, but the invasion of Italy, not France, was how that task was accomplished. So C is out.
There's competing evidence over how much the Allies knew about Auschwitz by the time of D-Day. Either way, the immediate purpose of D-Day was not to free the Jews from Auschwitz, though that was an ultimate result of D-Day. So B is out.
Since the question is asking the PURPOSE of D-Day, I think A is the best answer. D is more of a description of what D-Day WAS rather than an explanation of its PURPOSE.
