The term that best describes the type of government in which power to rule is held by a small, usually self appointed elite is called an oligarchy. The correct answer is B.
The transition to collectivization in the former Soviet Union caused widespread starvation, because there was a sudden disruption of production which happened because of collective farming and the mass seizure of property. Many of the land had become infertile, because of recent industrial developments and since it was a forced collectivization and completely controlled by the government, the people would receive as much money as they would produce. Of course this was impossible if their land was not fertile.
The Civil Rights
Movement Although major figures of the civil rights movement such as Martin Luther King, Jr., are widely remembered today, the movement drew its strength from the dedication of grassroots supporters. In rural and urban areas across the South, ordinary individuals advanced the movement through their participation in marches, boycotts, and voter registration drives. Those who dared to make a stand against discrimination risked being fired from their job, evicted from their home, and becoming the target of physical violence.
