Best answer: B. A state is sued for intentionally creating a Congressional district with a majority African-American population.
Background/context:
The landmark case regarding voting district lines was <em>Baker v. Carr </em>(1962), which pertained to voting districts in Tennessee. The plaintiff, Charles Baker, argued that voting districts, which had not been redrawn since 1901, heavily favored rural locations over urban centers which had grown significantly since then. Joe Carr was Secretary of State for Tennessee at the time, so was named in the case in regard to voting district lines as drawn by the state legislature. The Supreme Court ruled that voting districts were not merely a political matter to be decided by legislatures, but that they were subject to review by federal courts to determine their fairness.
The matter of redrawing district lines has come up in court cases recently as some state legislatures, when dominated by one political party, have "gerrymandered" district lines to try to maintain continued prominence for their party. Legislatures dominated by one party may redraw district lines (following the US Census) in ways that favor their party's candidates maintaining an advantage. Earlier this year, lawsuits were filed against the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana, accusing those states of trying to isolate African-American voters to limit their impact on Congressional elections. According to <em>Courthouse News Service </em>(June 14, 2018), "In Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana, local lawyers filed lawsuits in federal court against each states’ Secretary of States ... alleging the Republican efforts in 2011 to redraw congressional lines left many of the minority black voters packed into one district and breaking up pockets of others."
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
“Man is multidimensional and changing” means that humans have evolved from a primitive form of humanoids thousands of years ago, into a more capable and sophisticated creature that has taken advantage of their brains to create a complex society full of diversity, culture, traditions, and customs.
Human evolution had had its ups and downs, great moments, cruel moments, and questionable moments of fear, war, oppression, and slavery. But that historical moments have taught us lessons to improve and be better and has taken us to modern days where humans are capable of doing many things at the same time, thanks to the use of modern technology and communications.

Answer: C. a mental set
Explanation: The development of a rigid perception or inclination about the a methodology or approach simply because such approach has proved efficient at a certain point in time. The persistence in the use and application of this past idea or approach even when it is no longer the most efficient could be said to be caused by a mental set. In the context above, the street to the north provided a route for Amber after the street to the south was closed. Having used the route for three months during the closure period of the shorter street to the south, Amber developed a mental set causing him to be inclined or attached to taking the street to the north even after the shorter southern street was reopened.
Answer:
a positive externality
Explanation:
A positive externality is said to occur when a good or service that is produced or consumed by an individual for his benefits, also benefits another third party.
In the scenario sited in the question above about my roommate, his trying of new recipes does not only help him in his pursuit of being a good chef, but also serves as a benefit to other people who eat his delicious creations he left available in the fridge to anyone to have access to. This is an example of a positive externality.
