Answer:

Explanation:

Benito Mussolini coined the term “fascism” in 1919 to describe his political movement. He adopted the ancient Roman fasces as his symbol. This was a bundle of rods tied around an ax, which represented the power of Rome.

Mussolini established the first fascist regime, followed soon after by others, including Nazi Germany. Fascism, however, differed somewhat from one nation to another. Thus, scholars often disagree on a precise definition of fascism. Even so, they tend to agree on its common characteristics such as:

Absolute Power of the State: Fascist regimes have a strong centralized state, or national government. The fascist state seeks total control over all major parts of society. Individuals must give up their private needs and rights to serve the needs of the whole society as represented by the state.

Rule by a Dictator: A single dictator runs the fascist state and makes all the important decisions. This leader often uses charisma, a magnetic personality, to gain the support of the people.

Corporatism: Fascists believe in taming capitalism by controlling labor and factory owners. Unions, strikes, and other labor actions are illegal. Although private property remains, the state controls the economy.

Extreme Nationalism: The fascist state uses national glory and the fear of outside threats to build a new society based on the “common will” of the people. Fascists believe in action and looking at national myths for guidance rather than relying on the “barren intellectualism” of science and reason.

Superiority of the Nation’s People: Fascists hold up the nation’s people as superior to other nationalities. They typically strengthen and unify the dominant group in a nation while stifling dissent and persecuting minority groups.

After serving in the Italian army during World War I, Mussolini returned home, looking for a way to unify the Italian people. In 1918, he began to deliver emotional speeches, calling for a dictator to head the country. He argued that only a strong leader could unite the people to overcome Italy’s postwar mass unemployment, chaotic political party conflicts, and strikes by socialists and communists.

In 1919, Mussolini organized his fascist movement in the northern city of Milan. He formed squads of street fighters who wore black shirts. His “Blackshirts” beat up socialists and communists and threw them out of local governments.

The communist revolution in Russia had taken place only two years earlier. Mussolini’s fascist movement quickly gained the support of anti-communist business people, property owners, and middle-class professionals like teachers and doctors.

King Victor Emmanuel had the constitutional duty to appoint a new prime minister, who would form the next government. With his Blackshirts and other supporters swarming the streets of Rome, Mussolini demanded that the king appoint him prime minister. The king gave in, and at age 39, Mussolini became Italy’s youngest prime minister on October 29, 1922.

Mussolini called new elections for the Italian parliament in 1924. Intimidation and fraud marred the election. Mussolini’s Fascist Party together with a smaller allied party won 66 percent of the vote.

During the Civil War, the South’s use of enslaved labor gave it a way to keep plantations running (Option "C" is the correct one).

Enslaved African Americans, who lived in the South of the US, responded to the American Civil War (1861–1865) in a variety of ways. Some slaves assisted the Confederate war effort, while others were forced to support the Confederacy by working on farms or plantations, in factories and households. There were many slaves who could escape and earn their freedom. Those slaves who remained on their plantations and farms worked as agricultural laborers while their production helped feed both civilians and soldiers. However, much of the wartime agricultural work in the South was carried out by female slaves, since males slaves were hired  for the Confederacy's military and industrial works.

Which statement best describes the difference between these versions?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The radio adaptation's tone is more urgent than the novel's tone.

Explanation:

In the novel excerpt from H. G. Wells' <em>War of the Worlds</em>, the passage talks bout the arrival of the aliens as <em>"an ordinary falling star" </em>and the people hardly minding it's occurrence. Even though the narrator thinks <em>"hundreds must have seen it"</em>, it seemed to cause no panic among the people.

But the radio adaptation by Howard E. Koch of the same novel shows a news reporter interrupting a <em>"dance music"</em> to report about the <em>"explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet Mars"</em>. This, along with the speech reporting voice will sound more dangerous than the mere narration in the novel version. <u>The tone in the radio adaptation presents a more urgent and serious tone while the novel's tone is more relaxed and even the people seem unfazed by it.</u>
