True or False: Prohibition disproportionately affected lower-class poor
Americans because they could not afford to pay the gangster's high prices
for safe alcohol. Therefore, many people got sick and died from drinking
cheap, unregulated alcohol.*
True
False

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The Prohibition period, which lasted from 1920 to 1933, was a moment in American history during which the consumption, manufacture, and marketing of alcoholic beverages was prohibited throughout the nation.

During this period, the legal sale of alcohol was cut, giving way to the illegal trade of these products by the gangsters of the time, who imported it from Canada or made it themselves. However, this practice did not have a significant impact on the low-income population, since this, due to high costs, could not access the beverages that were offered in the illegal market.

In what ways did communism have an impact on world history in the first half of the twentieth century?

Answers

Answer:

The ideology of Communism spread after Russia adopted this political and economic ideology in 1917. Communism had a major impact on the world's history during the first half of the Twentieth century.

Explanation:

Communism was a political and economic ideology conceived by Karl Marx in the nineteenth century.

In 1917, after Vladimir Lenin rose to power in Russia, he adopted the ideology of communism. Soon, communism began to spread across the borders of Russia to China, Germany, Romania, Czechoslovakia, North Korea, Poland, and many others.

The spread of communism worldwide became a threat for America. It was this fear that caused the Cold War between Russia and America from 1947 to 1953.

France and Russia.
Germany
Correct!

Answers

The correct answer is Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, Austria declared war on Serbia, Russia mobilized its forces, Germany declared war on France and Russia, and Britain declared war on Germany.

Explanation

The aforementioned events are part of the European warlike conflict known as World War I, which pitted the triple alliance against the triple entente. The first event that occurred during this war was the assassination of Archduke Francisco Fernando on June 28, 1914, at 11 a.m. in Sarajevo. After this, Austria-Hungary made a declaration of war against Serbia on July 23, 1914. This event caused Russia (allying with Serbia) to mobilize its troops towards the Baltic and Black Seas and the cities of Odesa, Kasan, Moscow, and Kyiv.

In response to Russia's military mobilization, Germany decided to declare war on August 1 and two days later on France (also allied with Serbia).

A day later, the United Kingdom entered the war by declaring war on Germany on August 4, since Germany had attacked Belgium even though it had remained neutral so far.

So the correct answer is Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, Austria declared war on Serbia, Russia mobilized its forces, Germany declared war on France and Russia, and Britain declared war on Germany.

Answer:

1 Archduke

2 Austria

3 Russia

4 Germany

5 Britain

What would you have done to survive in the Donner Party?Only answer if you're very good at History.Please don't put a link to a website.​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

I would have started by trying to bring a Native American guide along. It seems the Donner party wasn't very fluent in Native American customs, and before venturing into the west without an experienced guide. Sometimes having the right people on your team makes an effort easier.

Their fate was pretty much sealed by Jim Bridger, who hid letters from Edwin Bryant that advised against traveling on Hasting's Pass with wagons. At some point, before winter, I would have made a makeshift shelter for the women and children, and left a few men to guard them. I would have sent the rest of the men forward to explore the rest of the pass or find more help, fresh horses/oxen and more wagons to carry their belongings.

By stopping somewhere before winter, they could have taken advantage of any wild-grown food from the late summer and fall harvest seasons. When food got very scarce, I would have starved myself so my children would eat. I would like to say we would never have resorted to cannibalism. But desperation to keep children alive puts people's ethics at risk of being compromised. And for some, desperation to stay alive themselves makes them put their ethics aside.

I hope this gives you some ideas for your answer.

Mike,

Hi, how have you been? I hope you've been well. I'm finally starting to settle into my new house and neighborhood. It has a little bit of everything! At the end of my street, there's a gym with many choices for workout equipment. They also host different exercise classes, including swim classes. There's also a small market nearby where local farms sell their fresh produce. I just recently went shopping there and bought some yummy red peppers, apples, pears, carrots, and spinach. Everyone that works there is so friendly and welcoming, I'm sure I won't have any issues making friends. I'm trying out a new routine where I walk to the gym every other morning and do an hour of exercise, and then walk back home and do everything on my agenda for the day. I plan on visiting the market once a week, probably every Saturday. Once I start getting to know more neighbors, I hope I can get a new workout buddy. The neighborhood is so warm and welcoming. You should come over and visit sometime! My door is always open, you can come by whenever you would like. I would just ask that you bring with you some shower and swimming towels... I forgot all of mine before I moved and I only have two. If you could do that, I would appreciate it. I hope you take the opportunity to come visit me and my new home!

The height of a water balloon that is launched into the air is given by h(t) = -5t2 + 40t + 2. From what height was the balloon released? a) 2 meters (b) 5 meters O c) 40 meters d) 20 meters​

Answers

Answer:

a.

2 meters

Explanation:

The equation:  h(t) = -5t2 + 40t + 2. is the position or height equation. It is the equation of a parabola. Since the leading coefficient -16 is negative, we have a parabola that has a maximum (a vertex is the highest point).

The easiest way to find the maximum height is to find the vertex since the y-value of the vertex is the maximum height. When the equation is in the form Ax2 + Bx + C = 0, the vertex is (-B/(2A), h(-B/(2A))).

-B/(2A) = -32/(2*-16) = -32/-32 = 1

h(1) = -16(1)2 + 32(1) + 48 = 2 feet

What effect would the loss of young people have on a country?

Answers

Think about the old-age ratio.

The old-age ratio is the number of not working/economically inactive compared to the number of people of working age.

The older generations (financially inactive) are dependent on the working group (let's say ages 15-64), since they pay the majority of the taxes and have essential jobs. A lot of elders are dependent on financial aids (which are paid for by the tax-payers) and essential workers (nurses, doctors etc.).

If the younger generations were to disappear, the working group would get smaller and smaller as more people retire. As the working group gets smaller, the retired group gets larger, creating an increased demand on the working group until it would eventually reach a breaking point. The old-age ratio would increase.
