It was a tactical error because he retreated into a peninsula which basically meant that there was no escape for him and his people so he got trapped and caught. He couldn't go further back because there was water and he had enemies coming from the continental mass so his entrapment was inevitable.

What is the newspaper boom?
shutvik [7]
Newspapers flourished, dramatically, in early nineteenth-century America. By the 1830s the United States had some 900 newspapers, about twice as many as Great Britain—and had more newspaper readers, too. The 1840 U.S. census counted 1,631 newspapers; by 1850 the number was 2,526, with a total annual circulation of half a billion copies for a population of a little under 23.2 million people. Most of those newspapers were weeklies, but the growth in daily newspapers was even more striking. From just 24 in 1820, the number of daily newspapers grew to 138 in 1840 and to 254 in 1850. By mid-century the American newspaper industry was amazingly diverse in size and scope. Big city dailies had become major manufacturing enterprises, with highly capitalized printing plants, scores of employees, and circulations in the tens of thousands. Meanwhile, small town weeklies, with hand-operated presses, two or three employees, and circulations in the hundreds were thriving as well.

The causes of this boom in American newspapers were varied and independent in origin, but they were mutually reinforcing. The U.S. population was growing and spreading out to new regions distant from the old seaboard settlements. As new towns formed, new institutions—including newspapers—blossomed. Indiana, for example, had only one newspaper in 1810 but seventy-three by 1840. Politically, America was highly decentralized, with government business conducted at the national, state, county, and town levels. Each of these levels of government needed newspapers, and the new American system of political parties also supported newspapers. Commercially, as new businesses flourished, so did the advertising function of the newspaper press. Rapidly urbanizing cities could even support multiple daily newspapers. The early nineteenth century was also a boom time for religious and reform organization, and each voluntary association needed its newspaper.

The Mosque of Selim II demonstrates the sultan's ability to approve
kherson [118]

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

The Mosque of Selim II demonstrates the Sultan's ability to approve the interior organisation of a religious space.

Explanation:

The mosques' placement was compared by Gülru Necipoğlu, a leading Ottoman art historian, to that of a church’s altar. She stated that while the innovation on the interior disrupts the space below the dome, it indicated the Chief Architects' interest in outdoing Christian architecture.

The chief architect - Koca Mi'mâr Sinân Âğâ and also engineer provided his services to the Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, Selim II, and Murad III.

Of course, it is reasonable to expect that such a huge historically significant project will not take off without the express ratification of the Selim.

Cheers!
