Of the provided statements, the true statement is that African architecture relies on available materials. There were many, many permanent structures in Africa prior to the 1400s; for example, Egyptians had been building permanent structures in the region for thousands of years. One example of that are the pyramids; however, pyramids can be found all over the world from Central Asia to Mesoamerica. The only true statement is the one quoted above.
Answers:
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- Christopher Columbus (1492)
- August 2, 1776
- The Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria
- The Meuse-Argonne Offensive (World War 1)
===================================================
Explanations:
- The capital would change places throughout the young history of the US before permanently moving to Washington D.C. This location is a sort of neutral ground between the north and south (note how it's fairly halfway between the two extremes).
- Despite Columbus discovering the Americas in 1492, the Vikings were actually before him. Though I have a feeling your teacher is leaning toward Columbus considering question 4 asks about that. Also, the Native Americans were already in the Americas when both parties discovered the continents, so it really depends on how you phrase the question.
- Many think that July 4th, 1776 was the date of signing, but this is likely not the case. The declaration started around this time window, but the actual signing process took place August 2, 1776.
- These three ships were the ones that first arrive in the Americas in 1492. Some scholars dispute that these were the official names of the ships and they may have had other names. I have a feeling your teacher will be leaning toward the answer I mentioned above.
- It probably depends on context. If you mean on American soil, then the deadliest civil war battle would be the Battle of Gettysburg (7,863 people killed). If you expand out the scope to include any American war, then the deadliest battle was The Meuse-Argonne Offensive during World War 1. About 26,277 people died during this battle. I'm defining "deadliest" in terms of the most number of people killed.
Answer:
The answer is letter c, President Wilson understood the sacrifices the Africans had made.
Explanation:
President Woodrow Wilson is one of the leaders in the world who was an advocate for democracy. This is the reason why he made his statement of principles for peace. This is popularly known as the "Fourteen Points." This statement addressed territorial issues and other things related to obtaining peace and independence from colonial claims.
Thus, after World War I, he called for the expansion of democracy and self-determination for African colonies. He even extended their rights to "self-determination," a principle which focuses on equal rights and the right of the people to be governed through their own consent because he clearly understood the sacrifices they made.
Not sure but I think the answer is b
The main purpose of ratifying the Bill of Rights is to prevent the misuse of power.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The bill of rights in the constitution of the United States of America were the documents which gave the first amendments of the constitution. The bill of rights were formed so that the people who are living in the United States could have the liberty of speech or to follow any religion and these bills were also responsible for the protection of these rights. But these were ratified so that the people could not misuse or abuse the powers which were given to them in any ways.
