Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
It's okay. Whose culture would it be appropriating?
People think it is because braids are such a big part of black hairstyling. However, they are by no means exclusive, and white people, Hispanics, Asians, etc… have all worn Dutch (cornrow), French, and plain ol’ three-strand braids for centuries. Heck, some are even named after the Dutch and French (can you imagine?!?!)
Buzzfeed seems to think that the instant I wear more than two Dutch braids, I'm appropriating black culture. What “cornrows” are to black people are also “convenient and secure fighting hairstyle” to boxers a.k.a “boxer braids,” and “inverted French braids” or “Dutch braids” to Western hairstylists, for precision of language in describing a technique (Lois Lowry has permanently tattooed the importance of that into my mind.) Fulbe women have been creating intricate braided styles for centuries. Tibetan women wear 108 box braids because it is auspicious and sacred to them, and young Uyghur women wear them because it’s traditional. Cornrows are another style of braid that is, in this country, usually seen on black people. To me, it’s just a style that is pretty and suitable for my hair. My hair is too thick to fit into two braids; so I usually wear three, like in my profile pic. Maybe for some people it’s a big cultural thing and is loaded with meaning, but it’s not going to be that way for everybody. What this article sounds like is someone complaining that not everyone does things the way she does.
I have absolutely zero tolerance for those who unnecessarily bring up cultural appropriation over something as insignificant as braids. The whole “they're all called cornrows and belong only to black people” argument is complete and utter garbage.
And please, never listen to Buzzfeed when it comes to social issues. The article confused you because it's, again, complete BS. Using their logic, white people can’t wear bandanas, black people can’t wear scarves to bed, and my best friend can stop wearing a beanie to school because Muslim women are discriminated against for wearing hijab. Seriously, I could debunk the entire article sentence by sentence, but I'm far past my breaking point already.

In a parliamentary democracy, the head of state is a member of the legislature. In a presidential democracy, the head of state is directly elected by citizens. Thus, option D is correct.
What is parliamentary democracy?In a democratic parliamentary republic, the party that has the highest representation in the legislature creates a government with all of its leaders serving as the prime minister as well as chancellor.
The Prime Minister is the head of state in the parliamentary system; nevertheless, he is often the head of the dominant party in Parliament and is not directly chosen by the general populace. He selects his entire Cabinet, but, once again, should only come from the Parliament.
The head of state serves in the legislative in parliamentary democracies. The president is chosen by popular vote in a presidential democracy. Therefore, option D is the correct option.

Answer: The answer is: A) "South Carolina's Transition from Proprietary Rule to a Royal Colony."
Explanation: I took the test in USA Test Prep.
South Carolina's Transition from Proprietary Rule to a Royal Colony. The correct option is A.
Which colony went from proprietary to Royal?Following the English claim to what was once Dutch New Netherland, New York became a proprietary colony in 1664 when Charles II granted the colony to his brother James, Dutch of York, as a proprietorship. New York didn't become a royal colony until King James II took over as its ruler in 1685.
South Carolina was reclaimed from the Proprietors in 1719 and declared a royal colony because it had more resources than North Carolina and was therefore more important to England. A royal colony was managed by the monarch directly, as opposed to a proprietary colony, which was governed by proprietors or owners in the king's place.
Thus, the ideal selection is option A.
