Light-rail systems have been tried all over the country, and they've failed. The system the city proposes won't work, either. Pe

ople enjoy their cars too much to endure inconvenience for the sake of the environment. And I don't blame them. As the owner of Jake's Used Cars and Trucks, I have seen the joy and freedom car ownership brings people. Americans will never abandon that feeling for the sake of being slightly better citizens. I believe it is far more responsible to purchase a high-quality car with good fuel efficiency. Building an entire light-rail system will be wasteful if few people use it — plus, it will take years to build and cost taxpayers millions of dollars. I encourage all city residents to vote against the light-rail system on May 1.
Which statement best describes the context of this excerpt?
A. The city has put a light-rail proposal on a ballot for citizens to vote on.
B. The city is taking suggestions for what kind of light-rail system to build.
C. A light-rail system has been built but is failing.
D. Business at the author's car dealership has been increasing.

The correct answer is A. The statement that best describes the context of the excerpt is the one that says that the city has put a light-rail proposal on a ballot for citizens to vote on.

In fact, the excerpt belongs to a speech opposing the proposal of the light-rail, in which the owner of a car dealership details the negative aspects of the project, trying to convince voters to vote negatively on the proposal.

Korvikt [17]

Group of early Americans used and maintained natural resources of environment in a effective way. In this way a group of early Americans adapted to their environment.

In different environment people fit them to cope up with their needs by changing their livelihood pattern (hunting, gathering and fishing) region wise.

Explanation:

Native Americans were very near to the nature. They used to live in forests, grassland and on the banks of rivers. So they know it better to deal with environment and to keep the sustainability at desire level. Native Americans used natural resources at their source points (oil, natural gas).

How was World War II unique from any other war in American or world history?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

World War 2 which has started in 1939 was the most devastating war the world has ever fought. One of the reasons for that devastation was because the Third Reich forces used a tactic called Blitzkrieg which was designed the following way: At first Dive Bombers went in to strike enemy points (JU-87 Stukas) were the most popular for those missions. After the bombardment went the Wehrmacht (tank) forces and the Infantry. The other devastating problem for the Allies was the new Submarine tactics. Hitlers engineers have developed a submarine known as a U-Boat. Those were mostly used for the blockade of Great Britain to sink allied shipping. The most devastating moment of the war was in 1945 when the United States launched a successful Atomic strike in Hiroshima and Nagasaki causing more then 200,000 casualties from each atomic bomb. In total 75,000,000 people died as the result of battles.
