Answer:
Option 3, The election was so close no one could decide who won, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The Presidential election of the year 2000 was very significant in the history of the United States. In this election, George W. Bush of Republican Party stood against Al Gore of the Democratic party.
On the day of the election, Al Gore won the popular vote. At the same time, Bush was able to carry most states in the south, rocky mountain region and rural Midwest. In the election, Gore obtained 255 electoral votes and Bush received 246 votes, but neither candidate was able to get 270 votes necessary for victory.
The State of Florida had 25 electoral votes. therefore, the outcome of the election was based on the votes of Florida.
Snake Story
Becky moved off of the porch slowly, backing through the door and into the house. She slammed the sliding glass door shut and stood for a moment, relieved to have something solid between her and the snake on the porch.
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe, at last, inside. Or was she? How had that snake gotten into the screened-in and walled-up back porch. If it could get in there, it's possible it could get inside where she was as well.
Becky wasn't someone who was normally skittish about wild things. She'd handled snakes before, picked up lizards many times, caught frogs in the garage and let them go. But snakes seemed to always catch her off guard. They would turn up when least expected. She would see them out of the corner of her eye and just the surprise of it would make her jump; her adrenalin would pump, her heart would thump, and her panic would take over.
What was she going to do? She couldn't just stand there waiting for the snake to decide to leave. What if it were venomous? It didn't look like a viper, but it could be. She would need to get out there soon to water the plants.
"What this requires is some advanced planning," she said out loud to her cat, Louie. "And, I will probably have to go 'once more into the fray' kitty," she said, looking in the cat's direction for emphasis.
"First things first, though," she said. The cat meowed back. It often did that, having become used to being talked to. "Let's look that fellow up," Becky said walking to her bookshelf.
"Let's see, snakes," she said, thumbing through her reptile and amphibian identification book. "It's brown and gray, with some black. With a pattern that looks ... there it is," she said thumping the page so hard that Louie jumped. "Not venomous," she said, triumphantly.
"It's an oak snake, Louie," she returned the book and strode over to her closet. "Not venomous, but I am still not taking chances," she said.
She reached into the closet and pulled out her heaviest jacket. It was lined and stuffed thick with lots of padding. Then she found her mittens and a pair of rubber boots. She knew even non-venomous snakes would sometimes threaten to strike when scared. "And that threat would work on me," Becky said aloud again, though Louie had no idea what she was talking about.
"It's 90 degrees outside, Louie," she said, "so get the iced lemonade ready for when I return."
It wasn't much of a plan, but it was the best she could come up with. With her armor on, she was already sweating when she slowly pushed open the sliding glass door and stepped back on to the porch.
She was pretty sure the snake would slither away from her presence. She propped open the outside door, and hoped she could shoo the snake in that direction.
Sweat dampened her arms and collected on her face. She spread her arms out, and took a few steps toward the snake. There was so much for it to hide beneath. Becky regretted the rocking chairs and all the plant stands between where the snake was in the corner and the door to the outside.
At first it seemed like the snake was just going to remain where it was, flicking its tongue every now and then. Becky waved her arms, lunged in its direction, and stomped her feet. It sat there, coiled in the corner, as if perfectly happy to remain there. In a fit of desperation, she picked up one side of the rocking chair the snake was under and let it drop. The snake jumped, raised its head like it was going to strike, and then stayed right where it was.
"Snake," Becky said, "This is not how it works. You have got to go." The snake moved its head back and forth, swaying a bit, and that gave Becky an idea.
She had read somewhere that snakes can "hear" thanks to the ability to process vibrations through the bone in their jaw. This awareness of vibrations in the ground was one reason it was very hard to sneak up on snakes. She quickly realized that getting the snake out was going to be a lot easier than she had thought.
Becky turned on the radio she kept on the porch and lowered it to the ground, pointing in the snake's direction. She adjusted the controls so that the bass was as high as it could go. Then she cranked up the volume. She envisioned the snake swaying to the sounds of "Dancing Queen by Abba, and then leaving the porch and going far far away.
Coming back into the house she began peeling off the now damp armaments she had put on earlier. "Louie, there is more than one way to skin a snake," she said laughing. She watched as the snake uncoiled and moved cautiously in the direction of the door. Bending down to pick up Louie Becky sighed and stroked his head. "'Cause no one ever wants to skin a cat sweetie
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe at last inside.

Justifiable for the United State to drop the atomic bombs on Japan?
Answer:
While some argue that the use of atomic bombs was necessary to end the war quickly and save lives, others believe that it was a disproportionate and unnecessary act of violence that caused immense human suffering. The debate over the justification of the bombings continues to this day.
Explanation:
Answer:
The United States dropping the atomic bombs on Japan was not justifiable, since history has proven many times over that solving long term issues through violence will only most likely result in one of two solutions. The anger against each side lasts for at least as long as the issue was around. Or the other, it will be 'solved' for a short time, and even then will it only come back to more disagreements among the people, causing more violence, or better, just verbal debates and disagreements, although that rarely happens in large issues among nations.
When the US dropped the bombs, they were expecting a quick surrender of Japan, although it would have been better with less violence, talking it out, or even a smaller-range bomb, that wouldn't kill so much of the population and destroy so much land. The United States dropped the bomb for a personal benefit of a lower amount of American lives lost, contradicting the idea amongst most people to preserve all human life, and prevent death from occurring as much as possible. The action was personally considered an 'allegation', not legally, among many people; many others believe that it was necessary and justifiable. It would be difficult to gainsay others opinions on this matter, although you can certainly attempt to proselytize.
Partial Rebuttal for a more beneficial answer:
After dropping the first bomb, Japan had still not surrendered, enticing the United States to repeat the action. To have two bombs dropped on your own country after being warned would most likely make you want to surrender or obey the warring nation. In the end, it turned out to be a gain for the United States, and a great loss for Japan, basically the overall idea of the people of the United States.

One cause of the Great Depression was a decrease in the demand for goods. Around 1928, demand for new housing decreased. This led to fewer sales of building materials. With fewer people buying houses, unemployment increased for construction workers and suppliers. As people lost their jobs, they bought fewer goods. This led the automobile industry and other manufacturers to make fewer goods. The prices of agricultural produce also dropped.
How did the drop in consumer demand affect the US economy?
More workers were needed to build more products.
Factories used more building materials.
More houses were built to drive up demand.
Factories reduced production.
Answer:
Explanation:
How did the drop in consumer demand affect the US economy?
The pace of economic growth has slowed to 2% due to a significant decrease in consumer expenditure. The US economy expanded at a 2% annualized rate in the third quarter, the weakest rate since the conclusion of the 2020 recession. Consumer expenditure and home investment slowdowns aided in keeping the figure low.

Explain why this is Black Code?
“No African-American or freedman shall be permitted to rent or keep a house within the limits of the town under any circumstances”
Answer:
It is a passed law that restricts blacks from unpermittedly keeping houses.
Explanation:
Black code, in U.S. history, any of numerous laws enacted in the states of the former Confederacy after the American Civil War and intended to assure the continuance of white supremacy. Black Codes, sometimes called Black Laws, were laws governing the conduct of African Americans (free and freed blacks). In 1832, James Kent wrote that "in most of the United States, there is a distinction in respect to political privileges, between free white persons and free coloured persons of African blood; and in no part of the country do the latter, in point of fact, participate equally with the whites, in the exercise of civil and political rights.
What was the main cause of the Peasants’ Revolt?
Answer:
The Black Death was the reason of the peasant revolt because it had killed 1/3 of the English population between 1348-1351. As a result there was a shortage of peasants to work on the land, and so the peasants thought they could ask for more money to work for their landlords.

Submit your answer here.
Answer:
Question 11.''' General Washington decided not to impose a battlefield strategy on his field commanders''. The general consensus among historians is that Washington was a mediocre military strategist at best. However, a recent study in the Academy of Management Journal cast some doubt on that consensus.
''Washington decided to oversee renovations on Mount Vernon during the most tenuous year of the Revolution.'' Imagine leading a comically outnumbered, under-resourced, and woefully unskilled force where the majority of your teenaged army marches throughout the New England snow barefoot because you can’t afford to buy them shoes in a war that—if lost—could send you to the gallows for treason.
3.'' Washington Decided not to make himself supreme ruler of the United States.'' After risking his life to lead the American Revolution—often bravely putting himself directly in the line of fire—Washington shocked the entire world by voluntarily returning all his powers to the American people and their elected representatives. It was a decision that even led his recently defeated foe, King George III, to comment that Washington was “the greatest character of his generation.” We will never know whether this decision was driven by altruism or a self-interested desire to be adored by history. What we do know is that decision aligned perfectly with the pattern of decisions Washington established

Math
Indian numbering is the first numbering system with base ten positional notation. It is believed that Aryabhata was the first mathematician to use the concept of zero.
The astronomers of this period postulated heliocentric theory and studied eclipses, both solar and lunar, explaining them as shadows cast on Earth.
Medicine
The famous Susruta is a Sanskrit text with the main concepts of Ayurvedic medicine (Ayurveda is the name of traditional Indian medicine. It has as a common goal the unification of body-mind and spirit, proclaiming that disease and health are the result of the confluence of three main aspects of existence or doshas) and innovative chapters on surgery. Doctors invented several medical instruments that allowed expanding the number of operations.
Religion
In the religious aspect the Hindu ideas correspond to a large extent to this period, perhaps it is in the time of the Gupta, thanks to the Buddhist influence, that Hinduism came to tolerate the most diverse, and even antagonistic, opinions within its belief system . The elements inherent to Hinduism, which distinguish it from other beliefs, are the caste regime (varna) as a social order and certain rites to which, according to its class, all members of each caste are inseparably linked.
Technology
Guptas' scientists discovered that there were seven planets in the solar system. They also created the technology that was able to help them detect eclipses of the sun and moon. Arybhata was one of the most famous scientists in the Gupta Empire: I determined that Earth rotates on an axis and revolves around the sun.
