Explanation:
The old farm used to be there, so therefore we should use the past tense of “is.”
The correct answer is: The map illustrates the size of the Louisiana Purchase and suggests its economic potential.
Indeed, since the map does not have any highlighted areas that show the extent of sugar plantations, it can only be deducted that it only shows the economic potential of the territory by showing how so much of it is located within the warm, Sun Belt of the United States where the climate is favorable for the cultivation of sugar (especially the humid areas of Southern Louisiana and Texas.
After the Haitian revolution and its horrors, many free colored Haitians (and some white Haitians) escaped to the United States and started large sugar plantations since most sugar plantations in Haiti were devastated and never recovered.
An argument is invalid if and only if all the premises is true and the conclusion is false.
We can test the invalidity of the argument by assuming all the premises are true and seeing whether it is possible for the conclusion to be false. If the conclusion is possible to be false, then, the argument is invalid.
A valid argument, on the other hand, is valid if and only if it is necessary that:
1) if all of the premises are true, then the conclusion is true
2) if all of the premises are true, then the conclusion must be true
3) it is impossible that all the premises are true and the conclusion is false.
The story "Civil Peace" by Chinua Achebe follows a character called Jonathan Iwegbu in the aftermath of the Nigerian Civil War. The civil war was extremely disruptive and destructive, and Jonathan has lost almost everything he had. However, the aftermath of the war is not much better. Violence, crime and suffering are still rampant, and it is obvious that things will not be back to normal for a very long time.
The title "Civil Peace" is therefore used in an ironic sense. Achebe wants us to remember that, even though technically peace has been restored, the situation is still far from normal. Moreover, the violence that was common during the war is not gone, and things are still not much better for common people like Jonathan Iwegbu.
