Answer:
In my view, the Puritan influence on American culture is too often overlooked and that's a shame because their influence is as much a part of this country's psyche today as it was back in the 1600s.
The three principle influences of the Puritans came from i) religion, and ii) work, and iii) education where religion was the dominant theme throughout work and education ... in fact, religion pretty much summed up the Puritan existence -and their doctrine of "predestination" keep all Puritans constantly working hard in "this life" so as to be "chosen" for the next (eternal) life.
An ironic fact of the Puritans settling in America comes from the principle reason they left England was over religious differences and the Puritans not agreeing to supporting the monarch from a religious point-of-view (the Church of England was beyond reform in the eyes of Puritans). However, and herein is the irony, as soon as they settle into the colonies, they dictate that their religion will supersede everything and be called on to provide guidance as well as uniformity across the community.
So, instead of "religious freedom" from a King or Queen, the Puritans simply obviate the monarch aspect from governance and, essentially, form their government based on the same (as England) discriminatory practices.
Explanation:
You didn't provide a list of choices, so I'll simply list some of the major international associations in which the United States is a participating member:
- The United Nations (UN)
- The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NTO)
- The World Trade Organization (WTO)
- The International Monetary Fund (IMF)
- The Group of Seven (G7) -- which used to be the G8 until Russia was suspended because of its invasion of Crimea. The G7 consists of the nations with the largest advanced economies in the world (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States).
- The World Health Organization (WHO)
- The International Olympic Committee (IOC)
There are lots of others, but those are some of the major international organizations or groups to which the US belongs.

The thermometer was known to be significant because it was the first time that humans actually got hold of reading specific temperatures. The thermometer is also commonly used in various different situations. It's used to measure the heat/cold outside, the temperature of food, a human's temperature, and used to measure in science experiments. Those are simply a few examples. Hope this helped :))
