The answer is Independent clause
Answer:
b
. Demanding
.
Explanation:
The word "assessing/ assess" is the same as making a "guess, estimate evaluate, propose, determine" etc. among others.
Now, considering the given sentence-
The size of the bet showed how confident they were in <u>assessing</u> a home's price.
This means that the people betting were confident of estimating how much the home will cost. And if the word "assessing" is changed to "demanding", then the meaning of the whole sentence changes completely.
Thus, the correct answer is option b.
The claims in the excerpt from Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech given in 1941 than can be considered inconsistent with US policy are the following ones: "our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the dignity of all our fellow men within our gates" and "we are committed to an all-inclusive national defense".
The fact is that Jim Crow laws were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and were enforced until 1965. As you can see, when Roosevelt delivered his speech the laws were still in force. His speech is inconsistent with US policy because, between the time period the laws were in force, the nation didn't have "a decent respect for the rights and dignity of all their men within their gates" and they certainly were not "commited to an all-inclusive national defense". With the legal principle "separate but equal", Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States. What is more, racial segregation was even extended to public facilitites and transportation: Facilities for African Americans were inferior compared to those for white Americans and sometimes there were no facilities for the people of colour.
