The Transamazonica Highway in Brazil is going to be both, useful and destructive, depending on the point of view.
The biggest advantage of this highway is that it will connect the cities, towns, and villages in the Amazon rain forest with the rest of Brazil, as they now are very isolated and it very hard to travel to any place in the country from there.
The biggest disadvantage is that the highway will be cutting right through the rain forest, and for sure, millions of animals will die on the highway by getting hit by the vehicles driving on it, as the rain forest animals are not aware of the dangers of the roads.
The appropriate choice for the non-event is ...
... A. The costs of sewing machines began to increase.

The answer is B) Inca. Extensive road network across plains, deserts and mountains reaching all corners of the empire was one of the notable features of the Inca empire like terraced farming, canals, crop rotation and irrigation as agricultural innovations. It allowed smooth military operations, trading, and the use of runners or chasquis.
Answer:
Drought is a condition, not a hypothesis. Drought is the lack of rain, or evaporation in excess of precipitation.
The CAUSE of drought is a multi-pronged hypothesis. It can be due to cyclic changes in ocean temperature (El Niño/La Niña). It can be due to rain shadow downwind of a mountain range. It can be due to fluctuations in the sun’s brightness. It can be the result of urban sprawl and resulting shifts in upwind evaporation/transpiration. It can be the result of climate bands shifting in response to changing atmospheric composition. It can be the result of agricultural practices upwind. It can be just bad luck, with a location consistently not being the whatever-percent chance of where it’s raining.
Deindustrialisation which resulted in less factories as companies shifted their manufacturing operations to countries of lower production cost. This results in less pollution to the environment as the industrial scene is replaced by the growing services sector. The increasing emphasis on human development and henceforth the sustainability of development is also a contributing factor.
