The Louisiana Purchase proved to be one of the shrewdest business pacts in the entire history of the United States. The purchase doubled in the area of the country and provided
territory from which fourteen new states were created either wholly or in part. It also gave us control over the mouth of the Mississippi River and opened up the way to foreign trade.Prior to the purchase, the waterway had been blocked by the Spanish, probably with the
approval of Napoleon. The land that was bought was rich in timber,minerals, and natural resources of many kinds. Finally, the cost of the transaction was unbelievably low; the total of $15 million amounted to about four cents an acre.

The Causes and Motivation-
write a paragraph regarding British imperialism under Queen

Answers

Answer:

Goods used to be traded between Asia and Europe using a trade route. It was called the Silk Road. It made it possible for Europe to receive silks, spices, and pottery. Then in the 1500s, new leaders took over much of Asia and Europe. Traveling by land became difficult. It was easier to travel by sea. This encouraged European exploration. It led to Europe exploring and colonizing other lands. Colonization happens when one country invades and controls another country and its people.

In 5-7 complete sentences, summarize your Module One short story condensed milk, Give specific details about the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and
resolution. Your response should address each element of plot

Answers

Answer:

Condensed Milk is a story about a Russian Man trapped in Moscow's Butyrki prison. He shared a cell with a Man named Shestakov, and after awhile Shestakov called the Russian Prisoner over to tell him he had an idea, an idea that can lead them to their freedom. RP agreed to go along with this idea, planning each day/night, until one day RP thought 'n decided he did not want to go along with the plan, that he valued the food he always thought about instead of a few minutes of freedom in the woods.

Exposition: The story starts off by talking about Hunger and Barracks before revealing that the narrator was the one narrating about it, then it talks about where he is, and who was with him.

Rising Action: The man who shared the cell with RP called RP over to tell him he had an idea to escape, RP agrees, and they both start planning the escape.

Climax: RP was thinking more 'n more about food, and it was all he could think about.

Falling Action: His starvation and thoughts of food and his hunger leads RP to tell Shestakov that he no longer wanted to go along with the plan, that he should go without him.

Resolution: RP wasn't killed because he wasn't caught, nor was the Man when he escaped, he was treated with the same respect, and given the same benefits as before, so everyone was still stuck in the prison, and no goal was accomplished.

Explanation:

Exposition: What you need to know. Background information is presented, main characters are introduced, and the conflict is established.

Rising Action: The conflicts and challenges encountered by the characters. How they respond keeps the story moving forward.

Climax: The turning point in the conflict. Tension builds until the main character must make a decision or take action that determines the direction of the story.

Falling Action: The events that occur after the main character made the key decision in the story.

Resolution: The resolution is where all the questions are answered and loose ends are tied, providing a clear ending.

You're also just summarizing the story altogether as well.

Explanation:

Answer:

In the story Condensed Milk, we are introduced to the main character whose name is not provided. It is told that he is a prisoner, in jail, and treated very harshly. This would be the exposition since it introduces the character and the setting. Moving on, we are introduced to another character, Shestakov and he presents a plan to escape from the prison. However, the protagonist could see right through him, he instantly knew it was a trap. So, he says that he agrees as long as he reviews condensed milk. This is the rising action since it leads to the climax. Later, the protagonist receives two cans of condensed milk and eats them while being watched by the rest of the prisoners. This was the climax since it was the main event of the story. Then, the protagonist drinks the condensed milk and denies the offer. This is the falling action. At the end of the book, the protagonist finds out that the people who went with Shestakov were fooled and he made a good decision to not go with him. This was the resolution.

Answers

Answer:

A. I have a healthy diet. I eat lots of salad with lettuce and tomatoes.

B. Crisps aren't good for you because they are high in salt.

C. Eggs are a good source of protein.

D. Milk provides calcium for healthy teeth and bones.

E. Fish is better than meat because it is usually low in fat.

T. You need to have a balanced diet with food from all the major food groups.

S. It's OK to eat chocolate in moderation, You don't need to eat it every day.

Explanation:

This question mixes knowledge concerning health and concerning linguistics/grammar. Let's take a look at each of the sentences.

A. We need an adjective for the noun "diet". Since "health" is also a noun, the correct option is "healthy".

B. Having too much salt means a certain food is not good for your health. If crisps aren't good, then the option we should choose is "high".

C. Eggs, just like meat and chicken, are rich in protein. People who wish to build muscles usually consume lots of eggs every day.

D. If we are thinking of the health of our teeth and bones, we are thinking of calcium. That is what they need to be strong.

E. While red meat is high in fat and should be avoided for that reason, fish is a low-fat food, and should be preferred.

T. We have all heard of the importance of a balanced diet. You can eat a bit of everything that is in the food groups and be healthy.

S. The phrase we are looking for is "in moderation". "On" does not fit the expression at all.

Answers

Answer:

1. At 9:10 this morning, we'll be leaving for the natural history museum.

2. Please bring the following materials with you: pencils, paper, erasers, and a notebook.

3. The bus will be back at 4 AM to pick us up.

4. The special exhibit on birds contains the following types: prehistoric birds, seabirds, and domestic birds.

5. The letter we wrote to the museum began: "Dear Sir, Please let us known when the special exhibition on penguins will be shown at your museum."

Explanation:

When related to time, as in sentence 1, colons are used between hours and minutes. When only hours are used, a colon is not needed, as in sentence 3, unless you want to emphasize 4:00 AM exactly.

Colons are also used preceding a list. This is the case in sentences 2 and 4.

Colons can further be used to quote something; this is the case in sentence 5.
