Answer:
The irony behind the 9th Cavalry of the Buffalo Soldiers being tasked with securing the road from San Antonio, Texas to El Paso, Texas from the Native Americans was that:
They were African Americans another minority group frustrated by abuse and broken promises by the U.S. Government.

The answer is the items at the end of the list.
Explanation:
The student in the example is more likely to remember the items at the end of the list, due to a phenomenon called the recency effect: we will remember best the most recent information.

More specifically, <u>we remember items at the end and the beginning more easily</u>.
Answer:
Confirmation bias.
Explanation:
In psychology, the term confirmation bias refers to a type of bias where the person only looks for or <u>pays attention to the information that will confirm the belief they already have</u>. Therefore, they <u>don't consider any information that would contradict their belief. </u>
In this example, Randall believes that aliens crashed in the States in the 1950's. When he looks for information he ignores sites that are skeptical about this and only visits and talks with his friends about the sites that support his belief. We can see that <u>he is not considering the information that would contradict his belief and he is only looking for information that supports it. </u>Therefore, this would be an example of confirmation bias.
