The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The astonishing growth of education in the late 1940s ( and thereafter ) seemed yet another sign that the American Dream was well and alive. Historian James Patterson explains how the increase in the number of Americans finishing high school and attending college supports the statement.
Patterson says that spending on public education per student, after the wartime doubled in the United States. From 1944 to 1950, the federal government supported education in public education in colleges and high school. By 1970, 70% of high school students graduated and almost 50% of youngsters became college students. Scholarships in major colleges were granted to the best athletes in the nation, which allowed many people to attend universities.
This information appears in James T. Patterson's book "Great Expectations. The United States, 1945-1974."
Answer:
D, demonstrating American strength to the world.
Explanation:
Answer: East Asia. Ancient Chinese religious and philosophical traditions survive in the form of two main schools, Daoism (Taoism) and Confucianism, both of which originated in the 5th or 6th century bce.
A. Signing the Payne-Aldrich tariff
Let's look at the available options and see what their effects were.
A.Signing the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
* The Payne-Aldrich tariff was a compromise bill that frustrated both proponents and opponents of reducing tariffs. After Taft signed the bill, the Republican Party split into Progressives and Old Guards. This split cost the Republican's the 1910 congressional election. This is the correct choice.
B.Busting 90 trusts in a four-year term.
* President Taft was even more aggressive than President Roosevelt was in anti-trust suits. So you could consider this a continuation of a policy previously established by the Republican party and this didn't anger the progressives in that party. So this is a wrong answer.
C.Dismissing James Sherman as his vice president.
* President Taft didn't dismiss Vice President Sherman. James Sherman died October 30, 1912. So this is also a wrong choice.
D.Appointing Gifford Pinchot as Secretary of Interior.
* Since Gifford Pinchot was never the Secretary of Interior (Richard A. Ballinger was secretary from 1909–1911 and Walter L. Fisher from 1912-1913), this can't be the reason. So this too is a bad choice.
A is the correct answer because although the other answers are true, the most relevant to the Middle Ages would be A. B would be the answer however crusades were not against Arabs specifically, rather Muslims and Judaism because they wanted the holy land for themselves.
