Answer:
Explanation:
We are losing Earth's greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.
One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries.
Rainforests are being destroyed because the value of rainforest land is perceived as only the value of its timber by short-sighted governments, multi-national logging companies, and land owners.
Nearly half of the world's species of plants, animals and microorganisms will be destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest deforestation.
Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation. That equates to 50,000 species a year. As the rainforest species disappear, so do many possible cures for life-threatening diseases. Currently, 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources. While 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less that 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists.
Most rainforests are cleared by chainsaws, bulldozers and fires for its timber value and then are followed by farming and ranching operations, even by world giants like Mitsubishi Corporation, Georgia Pacific, Texaco and Unocal.
There were an estimated ten million Indians living in the Amazonian Rainforest five centuries ago. Today there are less than 200,000.
In Brazil alone, European colonists have destroyed more than 90 indigenous tribes since the 1900's. With them have gone centuries of accumulated knowledge of the medicinal value of rainforest species. As their homelands continue to be destroyed by deforestation, rainforest peoples are also disappearing.
Most medicine men and shamans remaining in the Rainforests today are 70 years old or more. Each time a rainforest medicine man dies, it is as if a library has burned down.
When a medicine man dies without passing his arts on to the next generation, the tribe and the world loses thousands of years of irreplaceable knowledge about medicinal plants.

Which is NOT a reason to target Japan as a new market? A. Proximity to China and other Asian markets B. Chance to create a refueling station for ships C. New and wealthy market for trading surplus goods D. Easy to attack and target due to small size
Answer:
D. Easy to attack and target due to small size
Explanation:
Japan was targeted by many large powers in the West as a new market.
It was seen as a profitable location due to its proximity to other Asian markets that had luxury goods which were desired.
Japan would also be a helpful new market because it could serve as a refueling station for other ships belonging to the Western powers.
However, its small size was not a reason to target Japan. If Japan was too easy to attack, then the Western powers would not want to occupy it.
So, the correct answer is D. Easy to attack and target due to small size

Which of the following IS NOT a country in which Calvinism spread to?
A. Holland
B. France
C. Scotland
D. England
Answer:
A. Holland
Explanation:
While Lutheranism was largely confined to parts of Germany and to Scandinavia, Calvinism spread into England, Scotland, France, the Netherlands, the English-speaking colonies of North America, and parts of Germany and central Europe. This expansion began during Calvin’s lifetime and was encouraged by him. Religious refugees poured into Geneva, especially from France during the 1550s as the French government became increasingly intolerant but also from England, Scotland, Italy, and other parts of Europe into which Calvinism had spread. Calvin welcomed them, trained many of them as ministers, sent them back to their countries of origin to spread the Gospel, and then supported them with letters of encouragement and advice. Geneva thus became the centre of an international movement and a model for churches elsewhere. John Knox, the Calvinist leader of Scotland, described Geneva as “the most perfect school of Christ that ever was on the earth since the days of the Apostles.”
Calvinism was immediately popular and was appealing across geographic and social boundaries. In France it was attractive primarily to the nobility and the urban upper classes, in Germany it found adherents among both burghers and princes, and in England and the Netherlands it made converts in every social group. In the Anglo-Saxon world, Calvinist notions found embodiment in English Puritanism, whose ethos proved vastly influential in North America beginning in the 17th century. It seems likely, therefore, that Calvinism’s appeal was based on its ability to explain disorders of the age afflicting all classes and to provide comfort by its activism and doctrine.

Certain traits and abilities made humans more adaptable to climate changes than other animals. Identify each trait as belonging to either
humans or animals.
starved when main food source became limited
learned to create and control fire
for warmth during cold weather
had no ability to control the environment
switched to eating what was available when
main food source became limited
Answer:
Humans
learned to create and control fire for warmth during cold weather switched to eating what was available when main food source became limitedHumans were able to create and control fire which allowed us to survive in colder areas because the fire kept us warm. The fire was also very useful to keeping predators away and allowed us to cook food which made more things edible.
Humans also have the ability to switch to whatever food is available when our main food source is depleted. For instance, if there is no more fish in a fishing town, the people would switch to vegetables and crops.
Animals
starved when main food source became limitedhad no ability to control the environmentAnimals are not very good at changing diets so they tend to starve when their main source of food is limited. For instance, if there are no more prey for a lion, it doesn't switch to grass. It would just starve.
Animals also had no control over the environment which meant that they were adversely affected by weather conditions that they had no natural protection against.

Answer:
D. It was divided into 2 separate countries.
Explanation:

After the defeat of the French were defeated, and their stronghold at Dien Bien Phu fell, the French retreated out of the region. This led to the advancement of the Vietnamese revolutionaries. But the effect of this battle was that Vietnam was separated into two countries, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) and the State of Vietnam (South Vietnam).
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

C. A variety of sentence patterns can alleviate choppy writing that halts and stops, create a more dynamic flow, and pique the reader's interest.
Explanation:
Good writing is when an author writes in a structured and logical manner. This pattern of writing shows or expresses the ideas in a free-flowing manner, with the move from one idea to the next done in a smooth, natural way.
Good writing is enhanced by sentence emphasis and a variety in the pattern of the sentences. This is because such sentence patterns can alleviate choppy or coarse writing, thereby reducing the sudden halts and stops while one reads through a text. Moreover, it helps create a more dynamic flow in the expression, attracting and increasing the interest of the readers.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
