How many world war 2 soldiers are buried in the tomb of the unknowns
Answer: There are 2 unknown soldiers that are buried in the Unknown tombs, from World War 2 and Korea. Nobody knows for sure which 2 World War 2 soldiers are buried in the Unknown tombs in Arlington National Cemetery.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier or the Tomb of the Unknowns is a monument dedicated to deceased U.S. service members whose remains have not been identified. It is located in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, United States of America.
The World War I "Unknown" is a recipient of the Medal of Honor, the Victoria Cross, and several other foreign nations' highest service awards. The U.S. Unknowns who were interred are also recipients of the Medal of Honor, presented by U.S. Presidents who presided over their funerals.The monument has no officially designated name.
Explanation: On March 4, 1921, the United States Congress approved the burial of an unidentified American serviceman from World War I in the plaza of the new Memorial Amphitheater. On November 11, 1921, the unknown soldier brought back from France was interred below a three-level marble tomb.
The bottom two levels are six marble sections each and the top at least nine blocks with a rectangular opening in the center of each level through which the unknown remains were placed through the tomb and into the ground below. A stone, rather than marble, slab covers the rectangular opening.
Since 1921 the intent was to place a superstructure on top of the Tomb, but it was not until July 3, 1926, that Congress authorized the completion of the Tomb and the expenditure of $50,000 (with a completed cost of $48,000). A design competition was held and won by architect Lorimer Rich and sculptor Thomas Hudson Jones.
Quarrying the Yule marble (3.9 miles south of Marble, Colorado by the Vermont Marble Company) was a one-year process beginning in 1930. The cap was quarried on the first attempt but the base required three tries. The large middle block also required three tries. In late January 1931, the 56 ton middle block was lifted out of the quarry. The quarrying involved 75 men. When the block was separated from the mountain inside the quarry it weighed 124 tons. A wire saw was then brought into the quarry to cut the block down to 56 tons.
On February 3, the block reached the marble mill site (in the town of Marble) after a four-day trip from the quarry. Here it was crated, then shipped to Vermont on February 8. The block was sawn to final size in West Rutland, Vermont, and fabricated by craftsmen in Proctor, Vermont, before it was shipped by train to Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia.[8] By September, all 7 blocks were on the grounds of the Tomb site, at Arlington.
Assembly began in September 1931. An imperfection was found in the base, requiring three more quarryings. By the end of December 1931, the assembly was completed. Finishing work followed with the carvings on the die block by the Piccirilli Brothers under the direction of the sculptor Thomas Jones. (The brothers also carved the Lincoln statue for the Lincoln Memorial). The Tomb was completed without formal ceremony on April 9, 1932.
The Tomb was placed at the head of the grave of the World War I Unknown. West of this grave are the crypts of Unknowns from World War II (south) and Korea (north). Between the two lies a crypt that once contained an Unknown from Vietnam (middle). His remains were positively identified in 1998 through DNA testing as First Lieutenant Michael Blassie, United States Air Force and were removed. Those three graves are marked with white marble slabs flush with the plaza.
The Tomb has a flat-faced form and is relieved at the corners and along the sides by neo-classical pilasters set into the surface with objects and inscription carved into the sides. The 1931 symbolism of the objects on the north, south and east sides changed over time.
There were almost 300 unknown tombs in Arlington National Cemetery. They include the following from World War 2 and Korea:
On August 3, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill to select and pay tribute to the Unknowns of World War II and the Korean War. The selection ceremonies and the interment of these Unknowns took place in 1958. The World War II Unknown was selected from remains exhumed from cemeteries in Europe, Africa, Hawaii, and the Philippines.
There are exactly 2 unknown tombs from World War 2, in the Arlington National Cemetery. Two Unknowns from World War II, one from the European Theater and one from the Pacific Theater, were placed in identical caskets and taken aboard the USS Canberra, a guided-missile cruiser resting off the Virginia Capes. Navy Hospital Corpsman 1st Class William R. Charette, then the U.S. Navy's only active-duty Medal of Honor recipient who was an enlisted man, selected the World War II Unknown. The remaining casket received a solemn burial at sea.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier contains one World War II soldier, representing all unidentified American soldiers from that conflict.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was initially established after World War I to honor the unidentified remains of a soldier who died in that war. After World War II, a similar ceremony was held, and the remains of an unidentified soldier from that conflict were interred in the tomb on May 30, 1958. The soldier represents all the missing and unknown service members who fought and died in World War II. Similarly, unknown soldiers from the Korean War and the Vietnam War were later added to the site to honor those who remain unidentified from those conflicts. The tomb stands as a symbol of the sacrifices made by all service members who have defended their country, known and unknown."

What is a stock?A stock is a colloquial phrase for any company's ownership certificates. On the other hand, a share alludes to a certain company's stock certificate. You become a shareholder if you possess shares of a specific corporation. There are two sorts of stocks: ordinary and preferred.
The distinction is that whereas the owner of the former can exercise voting rights in company decisions, the latter does not. But, before any dividends are paid to other shareholders, preferred shareholders have a legal right to a specific amount of dividend payments.
Moreover, there is a thing known as "convertible preferred stock." Essentially, this is a preferred stock with the option to convert at any point after a set date into a predetermined number of common shares.

Answer:

A country cannot be truly democratic until its citizens have the opportunity to choose their representatives through elections that are free and fair. Critical development efforts cannot succeed without a legitimate and democratically elected government that is responsive and accountable to its citizens. Elections provide an important opportunity to advance democratization and encourage political liberalization. For an election to be free and fair, certain civil liberties, such as the freedoms of speech, association and assembly, are required. Elections can be a primary tool to foster political openings and expand political participation. Electoral processes offer political parties and civic groups an opportunity to mobilize and organize supporters and share alternative platforms with the public. Elections also serve to encourage political debate and public dialogue. –"Supporting Free and Fair Elections," US Agency for International Development What is the main idea of this passage?
1. Free and fair elections help a democracy choose good leaders.
2.Free and fair elections disenfranchise voters.
3. Free and fair elections are necessary for a democracy to function.
4.Free and fair elections provide voters with civil liberties.
Answer:
3. Free and fair elections are necessary for a democracy to function is the correct answer.
Explanation:
As stated in the question, the excerpt belongs to "Supporting Free and Fair Elections." To support the correct answer it is necessary to mention that the speaker provides the results of elections ("provide an important opportunity to advance democratization and encourage political liberalization") and then, the characteristics of a fair and free election are described, appealing to freedom of speech and other rights that make a democracy work properly. The excerpt also describes other effects, such as the discussions and debates generated around them, so number 3 is the correct answer.

Who is called the Father of Humanism because he led the way in reviv-ing interest and study in classical literature?
Francesco Petrarca was an Italian poet and humanist, whose work gave rise to a literary current (called Petrarchism) that influenced important European authors especially from the sixteenth century, who tried to create poems such as those Petrarch wrote in his Il Canzoniere (Songbook) dedicated to Laura, his muse.
Petrarch devoted almost all his life to the study of the Greco-Latin authors, defended and promoted the classical culture and language at a time when only the clergy wrote in Latin, so he brought this language to the university academic currents.
In addition, with his humanistic conception, he tried to harmonize the Greco-Roman legacy with the ideas of Christianity and dedicated much of his time and fortune to recovering from the old monasteries and libraries the greatest possible number of ancient manuscripts. In fact, his compositions were a literary revolution in Italy, to the point that the author, in addition to being recognized as the father of Humanism, is also granted the modern lyric.

Which area on the map corresponds to land that belonged to the Cherokee tribe prior to their location
The correct location on the map that corresponds to land that belonged to the Cherokee tribe prior to their relocation would be in the region of the modern states of Georgia, Tennessee, and parts of North Carolina and Alabama.
Prior to the forced relocation known as the Trail of Tears, the Cherokee Nation's territory primarily spanned the southeastern United States, including large portions of what are now Georgia, Tennessee, and parts of North Carolina and Alabama. This is the area where the Cherokee people had established their homes, farms, and governmental institutions. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 led to the forced migration of the Cherokee and other tribes to what was designated as Indian Territory, primarily in present-day Oklahoma, which is shown on the map with pathways leading to the west. The orange circles on the map likely indicate the major areas affected by the removal, hence the original Cherokee lands would be among the easternmost circles.
