A. Citizen Kane
B. Baby Boomers
C. Generation X
D. Both b and c
The correct answer is both B and C.
Baby Boomers or Baby Boom Generation are people that were born worldwide between the years 1946 and 1964. They are called so because the number of births increased dramatically during those years. It happened due to the increase in material wealth of the parents thus making having children financially affordable.

Read the excerpt below, and answer the question that follows.
"What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it.
"This separation of government from people, this widening of the gap, took place so gradually and so insensibly, each step disguised (perhaps not even intentionally) as a temporary emergency measure or associated with true patriotic allegiance or with real social purposes. And all the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter.
...
"Those," I said, "are the words of my friend the baker. ‘One had no time to think. There was so much going on.’"
...
"To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it—please try to believe me—unless one has a much greater degree of political awareness, acuity, than most of us had ever had occasion to develop. Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,’ that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these ‘little measures’ that no ‘patriotic German’ could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.
From They Thought They Were Free by Milton Mayer
Question: The author is describing the slow march towards Nazism in Germany during the 1930s, which ultimately led to the Holocaust. Based on the excerpt, what do you feel is the best defense against the rise of fascism?
The author talks about how the whole change in ideology took place one small step at a time, disguised as something that would be better for Germany's well being. This created a big distance between the government and its' people, who gradually handed over their freedom to decide and participate in the country's problem-solving scenarios.
Based on this, a defense against the development of fascism would be promoting awareness in society, in a way that keeps people conscious about the decisions that are being made and the values beneath them.
In other words, fighting against fascism would mean fighting against the "gradual habituation" mentioned in the excerpt.
Final answer:
The best defense against the rise of fascism is to develop and maintain a high level of political awareness and acuity, fostering critical thinking skills and active participation in democratic processes.
Explanation:
The best defense against the rise of fascism, as described in the excerpt, is to develop and maintain a high level of political awareness and acuity. It is important for individuals to be able to recognize the gradual steps towards authoritarian rule and to understand the principles behind them. Without this awareness, the process may go unnoticed and lead to the erosion of democratic values and the consolidation of power by a few. In the case of Nazi Germany, the author describes how the gradual habituation of the people to being governed by surprise and decisions made in secret allowed for the widening of the gap between the government and the people.
Trust in the leader made it easier to accept the erosion of democratic norms and the concentration of power. Therefore, maintaining a critical mindset and questioning government actions is crucial in preventing the rise of fascism. Overall, fostering political awareness, developing critical thinking skills, and actively participating in democratic processes are the best defenses against the rise of fascism.

Which describes the type of buying and selling that takes place within a country?
The most powerful Catholic ruling family in the 1600s was the:
a. Tudors
b. Hapsburgs
c. Hohenzollerns
d. Bourbons
The Habsburgs, 100%. The Tudors weren't Catholic, and famously so. The Hohenzollerns and Bourbons never came close the the Holy Roman Empire in power at its pique. The Hohenzollerns were later as well, although I confess I am not quite as learned on their history. Had the Tudors been Catholic, it might be a contest, as Elizabethan England was certainly a height of the British Empire.

voting structure in the estates general
Answer: Voting structure in the estates general.
Explanation:
States General was the representational assembly of the three estates. The clergy and nobility were privileged minorities, while the Third Estate represented the rest of the people.
During the last meeting of the Estates General, at the beginning of the French Revolution (1789), the Third Estate worried that the two privileged estates would overcome the general public in its effort to establish a reform.
Therefore, the revolutionary National Assembly was created, putting an end to the representation by social classes.

What was life like before and after the Indian removal act?
The Indian Removal Act, signed on May 28th, 1830, by President Andrew Jackson authorized the negotiation with Native American tribes by the president, with the intent of moving southern tribes to federal territory west of the Mississippi River so the country could occupy their land.
Before the act, there was a lot of effort into encouraging the Indians to assimilate American culture, like converting to Christianity and learning English. There was also a lot of conflicts involving land ownership of land and properties.
The South's population strongly endorsed the act once it would allow for and occupation and the expansion of the settler's economic activities. This act faced resistance from Indian tribes such as the Cherokee, but eventually got removed by the government, in a march known as Trail of Tears.
After the Removal Act, the land became part of the official U.S. territory and got occupied by settlers, promoting the growth and establishment of cities and routes, paving way for the country's expansion, both in land and economically.
6. Write a short essay explaining the methods through which citizens can participate in their government in the United States. Be sure to explain why voting and other forms of political participation are important to the U.S. Government. Finally, analyze how citizens can use these methods to bring about positive changes in their communities.
People may participate in politics in many ways. They can write their Representative or Senator, or work in for a candidate or political party. They can make presentations to their local school board or city council, or call the police to complain about the neighbor's dog. Partly because of our federalist system, people have many opportunities to participate in our democracy on federal, state, and local levels. Some forms of participation are more common than others and some citizens participate more than others, but almost everyone has a voice in government.
Answer:
In the United States, there are no processes of citizen initiatives at the federal level, but 27 of the 50 states have some kind of direct democracy system (changing the regulation and scope of one state to another). At the local level, approximately half of the cities have a system of binding citizen initiatives.
Between 1904 and 2000 almost 2,000 referendums initiated by the citizenship were convened. In 1996, in the states with citizens' initiative mechanisms, 96 referendums were held, against the more than 14,000 laws and resolutions passed by the representatives of those states.

D. All of these are correct
The correct answer is D.
The dictates of Islam consider the three principles listed. On the first hand, that all believers are equal. The existing divisions in the Muslim communities have been actually created by men due to many reasons which are not connected to the teachings of the religion, such as: race, sect, our pre-Islamic cultures, political opinions, ancestry.
All Muslims pray facing Mecca and the pilgrimage to this city once in lifetime is actually one of the mandatory religious duties for all of them. Every Muslim has to read the Quran as well, and needs to learn Arabic in order to do so.

He also played an important role in Progressive Era Reforms such as the Pure Food and Drug Act.

a.
use visuals sparingly
b.
include as much text as possible
c.
use a variety of colors on each slide
d.
never use the same font more than once
Please select the best answer from the choices provided
A
B
C
D
i think that using a variety of colors would be the most logical thing out of that list.
The correct answer is A. Use visuals sparingly
Explanation:
A slide presentation is a type of presentation n which the speaker uses pages of a presentation that can contain images, texts and even audiovisual materials such as videos or audios to explain a specific topic. This type of presentation offers multiple resources that can be used by the presenter to help the audience understand better the content of a presentation; however, these resources need to be used in a precise way.
Because of this, it is to use only one or two types of fonts is enough and limiting the use of colors or decorative items as these will work as a distraction. Also, in terms of content the use of texts should be limited and the text included should be short and concise, while the use of visuals such as images or graphics should be used but without using them excessively or using them sparingly. Therefore, from the options provided the one that is an important consideration for preparing slide shows is "use visual sparingly" because visuals are a useful tool to help the audience understand the content but they should not be used excessively.
