<em>A. It required men from ages 21-30 to register for the military draft.</em>

Explanation:

The Selective Service Act required men from ages of 21-30 to register for the military draft. This act was passed in 1917 and was created to get soldiers for the war effort. This was also the first peacetime draft that the United States has ever had.

As you may know, World War I was happening in 1917. The United States had joined World War I late, just a year before it ended. About a month after the United States had joined the war, the Selective Service Act was passed. This was to ensure that the United States had enough soldiers to fight if needed.

Before World War I happened, the United States did not have a big military compared to other countries. When problems started to arise and the United States finally joined World War I, the military started to expand and even the draft was created.

Mannerism emerged in the courts of Rome in the 1520s and:_________
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Mannerism emerged in the courts of Rome in the 1520s and defied the perfection of the High Renaissance.

Explanation:

Mannerism was a period in the history of art and music that went from about 1520 to the beginning of the 17th century. The very name Mannerism originates from the Italian word maniera, which really means "stylish behavior" with emphasis on simple elegance, balance and harmony. In the context of art (including music) and artists (including composers and musicians), the word "mannerism" is most commonly used in the context of open light and often excessive bravery, virtuosity and whimsical behavior. Mannerism is the transitional period between the High Renaissance and the Baroque. Examples of well-known mannerists are Pontormo, Parmigianino and El Greco.
