The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the map and the options for the question. However, doing some research, we can answer the following.

This map supports the idea that urbanization was more likely to occur near water for transport and energy needs.

Rivers are an important source of freshwater and this represented a great opportunity to settle in and establishing towns that later became cities. Rivers also represented an excellent way to develop navigation and transport people and goods such as raw materials and crops. Finally, rivers allow fishing, an important source of food to feed families. That is why many important cities are located next to rivers or close to the banks of a river.

Dear Journal, April 7th, 1847

Pa says we're gettin ready to head to Oregon Country so that we might get ourselves some of that good farming land. Ma isn't real happy about moving away from her hometown, but I am starting to get slightly excited! I am afraid of this long and dangerous journey. I am thankful that I get to take along the doll my grandmother made for me before she passed away last summer. My little brother Joey is bringing along his blanket and ma is bringing her fine china that has been passed down through her family. I am so afraid that once we start our journey that Joey might get hurt or lost. He's a wandering type, and not very good at following directions! And I will certainly miss my friends from home. My best friend Elizabeth says I must write to her everyday.

Answer:

Between 1776 and 1789 thirteen British colonies emerged as a newly independent nation, the United States of America. Fighting in the American Revolutionary War started between colonial militias and the British Army in 1775. The Second Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Under the leadership of General George Washington, the Continental Army and Navy defeated the British military securing the independence of the thirteen colonies.

Answers

Answer:

Each October the LMHA celebrates two of the Continental Army’s most decisive Revolutionary War victories, the battles of Saratoga and Yorktown. While other Continental Army victories, such as the siege of Boston, were essential to the final defeat of British forces and the recognition of United States of America as an independent, sovereign nation by the British Crown, Saratoga and Yorktown are indisputably considered to be the definitive turning points of the American Revolution in that both resulted in the surrender of significant British forces along with their commanding officers (on October 17, 1777 and October 19, 1781, respectively). For the devotees of lower Manhattan history, these two battles hold special significance. Both General Horatio Gates, the commanding general at the Battle of Saratoga, and Alexander Hamilton, a key aide to General George Washington and the leader the climactic charge against redoubt 10 at the Battle of Yorktown, are buried at the site our ceremony in Trinity Churchyard. We note that while the grave of Alexander Hamilton, well known as the first Secretary of the United States Treasury and a key contributor to the Federalist Papers, has been known to patriots and historians from the day of his burial to the present, that Horatio Gates was left unmarked for almost 200 years; an omission addressed and remedied by the New York State Daughters of the American Revolution. This annual commemorative ceremony, led by the Lower Manhattan Historical Society and its sponsoring member organizations, addresses this gap in the understanding of our city’s contribution to the American Revolution cause. Also buried in Trinity Churchyard and dutifully honored as part of this ceremony is Marinus Willett, a critically important commander at the Battle of Fort Stanwix (a subsidiary battle to Saratoga and a very important post-Revolutionary War New York City politician). Additionally, the Battle of Yorktown is symbolic of the United States of America’s oldest military alliance. Powerful French land forces, commanded by the Comte de Rochambeau, and an equally important and sizable French fleet, commanded by the Comte de Grasse, played a crucial role in the defeat and capitulation of the British army commanded by Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis. As such, the celebration of this great victory offers us the opportunity to commemorate our friendship with United States of America’s first ally by hosting representatives of the French military and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Which of the following explains the factors responsible for setting prices in a
free-market system?
A. The balance of costs and benefits.
B. Supply relative to demand.
C. Revenue minus costs.
D. The amount of scarcity.
Please help!!!

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Supply relative to demand :)

The factor responsible for setting prices in a free-market system is Supply relative to demand. Thus the correct option is B.

What is the Price?

A price refers to the amount which takes place between two individuals when performing the exchange of goods and services. This price is determined by the willingness of both parties involved in the exchange.

A free market system indicates a market structure where the demand and supply maintain the balance of the market and determine the prices.

It can understand with the fact that Demand and supply are measures of how willing both buyers and sellers are to purchase and sell goods.

When both buyers and sellers can reach an agreement on a price, a commodity exchange takes place. As a result, it says that supply in relation to demand influences pricing.

Therefore,  option B is appropriate.

What does “anti-revolutionary activities” mean?

Answers

Answer:

Meaning:

Anti-revolutionary activities refer to the activities used to counter act revolutionary activities. You can think of these activities as a suppression or a riot control subject which is a counter to a revolution.

Some Ideas:

Some activities would be preserving state affairs, keeping the same things happening before the revolution, and stop people who want or are doing a revolution.

Anti-revolutionary activities can result in positive or negative results depending on what the "revolution" was on and what it was about.

Real life Example:

One example is, if the government was communist and there was a revolution to it, then the revolution would of had a good purpose(not to the communists obviously). Anti revolutionary activities would be activities to maintain the communism and eliminate the people who wanted a democracy. Or diminish their importance.

This is the article
PRESIDENT CLINTON: My fellow Americans, today our armed forces joined our NATO allies in airstrikes against Serbian forces responsible for the brutality in Kosovo. We have acted with resolve for several reasons.
We act to protect thousands of innocent people in Kosovo from a mounting military offensive.
We act to prevent a wider war, to defuse a powder keg at the heart of Europe, that has exploded twice before in this century with catastrophic results.
We act to stand united with our allies for peace. By acting now, we are upholding our values, protecting our interests, and advancing the cause of peace.
Tonight I want to speak with you about the tragedy in Kosovo and why it matters to America that we work with our allies to end it.
First, let me explain what it is that we are responding to. Kosovo is a province of Serbia, in the middle of south eastern Europe and about 160 miles east of Italy. That's less than the distance between Washington and New York, and only about 70 miles north of Greece.
Its people are mostly ethnic Albanian and mostly Muslim.
In 1989 Serbia's leader Slobodan Milosevic, the same leader who started the wars in Bosnia and Croatia, and moved against Slovenia in the last decade, stripped Kosovo of the constitutional autonomy it's people enjoyed, thus denying them their right to speak their language, run their schools, shape their daily lives. For years, Kosovar's struggled peacefully to get their rights back. When President Milosevic sent his troops and police to crush them, the struggle grew violent.
Last fall, our diplomacy, backed by the threat of force from our NATO alliance, stopped the fighting for awhile, and rescued tens of thousands of people from freezing and starvation in the hills where they had fled to save their lives. And last month, with our allies and Russia, we proposed a peace agreement to end the fighting for good. The Kosovar leaders signed that agreement last week.
Even though it does not give them all they want, even though their people were still being savaged, they saw that a just peace is better than a long and unwinable war.
The Serbian leaders, on the other hand, refused even to discuss key elements of the peace agreement. As the Kosovars were saying yes to peace, Serbia stationed 40,000 troops in and around Kosovo in preparation for a major offensive and in clear violation of the commitments they had made.
