GIVE ME LIBERTY
The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia
Thomas J. Wertenbaker
Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.
But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?

PART A: Which of the following identifies a theme of the text?From the story home
Answer:
You did not provide options for your question and I could not find them online, but I will still give you an explanation that will be useful for your answer.
Explanation:
In this case we have the story "Home" by Gwendolyn Brooks.
We can tell that there are two themes for this story. We could say that the story can focus on a home in a literal way, or a home in a more figurative way, that is, everything that represents a home beyond something physical.
Let us remember that the theme of a text is a phrase that synthesizes or encompasses the entire text, a phrase that reflects the central idea of the writer around which the meaning of the text is organized and that gives meaning to the data or events concrete that the text presents.

The standard deviation in a large population is equal to 8.3. How big sample is needed to be 90% sure that the sample mean is within 1.3units of the population mean?
Answer:
111
Explanation:
The sample mean is within 1.3units of the population mean, therefore the margin of error (E) = 1.3
confidence (C) = 90% = 0.9
α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1
α/2 = 0.1 / 2 = 0.05
The z value for a confidence of 90% = z value of α/2 = z value of 0.45 (0.5 - 0.05) = 1.645
Given that E = 1.3, standard deviation (σ) and sample size = n.
The margin of error (E) is given by:
[tex]E=Z_\frac{\alpha}{2}*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\Substituting:\\\\1.3=1.645*\frac{8.3}{\sqrt{n} }\\\\\sqrt{n}= 1.645*\frac{8.3}{1.3}\\\\\sqrt{n} =10.5\\\\n=110.3[/tex]

excerpt adapted from Telling All Americans’ Stories: Introduction to European Heritage
by National Park Service
In many ways, the story of America is the story of movement—the unprecedented migration of people, ideas, and beliefs. The Statue of Liberty stands as perhaps the most iconic symbol of our nation’s largely immigrant past and its European heritage in particular.
Under the watchful gaze of this imposing monument, lives converged. Between 1892 and 1954, over 12 million immigrants passed through the processing facility on Ellis Island. Many of those people left homes across Europe—particularly England, Ireland, the German and Russian empires, and Scandinavian countries—to escape famine, political and economic oppression, or in search for greater opportunities in America.
Upon crossing America’s shores, European immigrants spread across the North American continent, altering its physical and cultural landscape along the way. These experiences are often told through the treasured European American narrative of the “melting pot”—where diverse groups traveled to a “New World,” where they peopled a nation and forged a uniquely American identity. However, these immigrants arrived on a continent already populated by indigenous nations who possessed their own complex political, economic, and cultural systems. The ensuing encounters between these diverse groups serve as some of the foundational moments in American history. The 1604–1607 maps and documents by Samuel de Champlain are testimony to the interactions between French explorers and the Native peoples living along the coast.

How will the RUF tattoo effect those who have it at the end of the war?
Answer:
The RUF tattoo showed that a person was a rebel (or belonged to the Revolutionary United Front (RUF)) during the Sierra Leone war.
So the person is marked out for persecution as a rebel. The sign tells of affiliation with the Revolutionary United Front, a deadly militia during the war.
Explanation:
Ishmael Beah's "A Long Way Gone" book (2007) chronicled the most important war stories that brought Sierra Leone to its knees. It showed that children under the age of 18 were forcibly recruited to fight a war of attrition in the West African nation during the 1990s. The war devastated the country and its neighbors for more than a decade. Many people were left without limbs after the war, as many other atrocities and war crimes were concurrently committed by various armies.

The difference between supervisors and management is that
supervisors generally have more power than managers
supervisors work more directly with support staff
managers are less concerned with financial status of their departments
supervisors can only be hired from existing support staff
Answer:
supervisors work more directly with support staff
Explanation:
The major difference between supervisors and management is that while managers are more of a reflection of the company to the outside world, the supervisor works more closely with the support staff to get the desired results.
A manager is typically above a supervisor but the supervisor works very closely with support staff to make sure that the aims and objective of the company and direct project at hand are being met.
