Answer:
a decrease in money going to African kingdoms
Explanation:
The end of the trans-Atlantic slave trade was a major economic blow for the African kingdoms. The African kingdoms made big portion of their profit from selling slaves that they have captured from the other tribes to the Europeans. Once the slavery was abolished, the money toward the African kingdoms stopped as well, which led to their weakening and eventually collapse, later being used by the Europeans to overtake them.

What causes shortage of water? 1.seasonal or annual precipitation 2.over-exploitation of the sources of water
3.contamination of the sources of water
4.all of the above
Explanation:
Water scarcity
Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region.
It already affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of every year.
More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water.
Water scarcity involves water stress, water shortage or deficits, and water crisis.
While the concept of water stress is relatively new, it is the difficulty of obtaining sources of fresh water for use during a period of time and may result in further depletion and deterioration of available water resources.Water shortages may be caused by climate change, such as altered weather patterns including droughts or floods, increased pollution, and increased human demand and overuse of water.
A water crisis is a situation where the available potable, unpolluted water within a region is less than that region's demand.
Water scarcity is being driven by two converging phenomena: growing freshwater use and depletion of usable freshwater resources.
Water scarcity can be a result of two mechanisms: physical (absolute) water scarcity and economic water scarcity, where physical water scarcity is a result of inadequate natural water resources to supply a region's demand, and economic water scarcity is a result of poor management of the sufficient available water resources.
According to the United Nations Development Programme, the latter is found more often to be the cause of countries or regions experiencing water scarcity, as most countries or regions have enough water to meet household, industrial, agricultural, and environmental needs, but lack the means to provide it in an accessible manner.
The reduction of water scarcity is a goal of many countries and governments.
The UN recognizes the importance of reducing the number of people without sustainable access to clean water and sanitation.
The Millennium Development Goals within the United Nations Millennium Declaration state that by 2015 they resolve to "halve the proportion of people who are unable to reach or to afford safe drinking water."

Identify the statements that correctly reflect related research findings.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not include options, we can say the following.
This is a photograph of !Kung hunter-gatherers, a group of modern foragers. The study of the !Kung and other modern foragers as well as the geometry of ancient bones provide insight into whether people had to work harder to acquire their food as hunter-gatherers or as agriculturalists. The statements that correctly reflect related research findings are the following:
"There is a great deal of variation in how much both hunter-gatherers and agriculturalists work." And "bone signatures in Coastal Georgia indicate a lessened work load with the onset of agriculture."
For the !Kung, the work load heavily depended on the conditions of the environment. They had to consider their living conditions and necessities to know what to do and the way to work to fulfill their necessities. Researcher Christopher Ruff shared important knowledge about how bones found in the Coastal area show that these people had less stress due to the fact that their level of work and general activities were lower. The weather conditions of the region allowed them to grow crops and harvest successfully in the coastal region. Raw materials and natural resources were plenty in this area.

Professor Schuyler believes that people's brains work very much like a computer in terms of input, operations, and output. The professor believes in _____. Group of answer choices the information-processing perspective Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development Lev Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development
Answer:
information-processing perspective

n experimenter shows a child two clay "sausages" that are identical in size and shape and then allows the child to watch as she rolls one of the clay sausages into a longer, thinner sausage. The experimenter then asks the child whether the two clay sausages still contain the same amount of clay. A child in Piaget's concrete operational stage would be MOST likely to say:
Answer:
"No, the longer sausage has more clay".
Explanation:
In such a scenario, a child in Piaget's concrete operational stage would most likely say "No, the longer sausage has more clay". This is because in this (third) stage of Piaget's theory of cognitive development the individual child begins to use logical thought and rules which they apply to physical objects. In the child's mind in this scenario, since he physically sees one of the sausages as longer he believes that it has more amount of clay, therefore applying his set of learned rules that bigger means more.

Item 2 Which best explains why a wood-burning fireplace represents an open system? because they can be used for cooking because they are not all made of brick because the ashes have to be swept away because a fire requires oxygen from the atmosphere to burn
Answer:
Because a fire requires oxygen from the atmosphere to burn.
Explanation:
An open system is when the fire needs the air to burn and also allow the smoke to escape or be released without the need to be "guided" or drive along a made path such as a chimney or through a stack. This process ensures that no smoke is retained or confined in a closed space.
Burning of wood involves a great deal of smoke being released by the burnt wood. So, for the smoke to be released freely, the act of burning in an open space facilitates easier means of dispersing the smoke and not be harmful to the persons/ living things nearby. If wood burning is done in a closed space, it will only suffocate the ones inside the room, making it difficult for fresh air to facilitate easy burning and will require a chimney for the smoke to be released.
Thus, a wood-burning fireplace represents an open system as fire requires oxygen from the atmosphere to burn and also disperse the smoke easily without the need for a chimney or a stack.
Of the conflict triggers discussed (criticism, demands, cumulative annoyance, rejection, one-upping, and mindreading) which one do you find most often triggers a negative reaction from you? What strategies can you use to better manage the trigger and more effectively manage conflict?

Nepal’s HDI is quite low how can it be upgraded. Suggest some ways
Explanation:
To upgrade HDI of Nepal , following measures must be implemented :
The health condition of the people should be improved.Country should attract foreign investment and technologies to bring positive changes in the sectors of human development.The level of education should be increased by increasing the education opportunities.The per capita income should be increased by enlarging employment opportunities.The Local means and resources should be utilized properly.
Hope I helped!
Best regards!
Some of the many ways that Nepal's HDI can be improved are:
Stimulating the local economyGovernment reform Calculated investmentsThe Human Development Index or HDI is (simply put) a metric that is used to categorize countries based on the quality of life of the population. The HDI takes measurements on different aspects of the population, such as:
Life expectancyEducationStandard of livingLife expectancy is how long a child born in the country is expected to live on average in said country. Contributing factors to low ranking in this index may include:
lack of basic medical servicesPoor access to basic and higher educationLow wages, high pricesWidespread inequality.Stimulating the local economy is one way to seek a higher HDI ranking. One way this can be done is by improving working conditions and minimum wages for the lower and middle class. This can lead to an increased flow of currency within the country and more competitive prices as a result of higher demand, culminating in a higher standard of living.
Calculated investments can further contribute towards an increased HDI. Given that the HDI takes into account factors like education and life expectancy, strategic investments in various forms of education ranging from small local schools to respected universities, along with increased spending in health programs available to all economic classes, are sure to positively impact HDI ranking. Targeted investments towards social development and economic assistance for the lower class can also be used to improve the standard of living.
All of these steps must be taken by the government. For this reason, if a country has historically maintained a low HDI, it can be logical to assume that the government is to blame. If a certain government refuses to acknowledge and address the problems at hand, a government reform through democratic means may be necessary.
Due to the HDI's measurement system based on the quality of life and education of the country, some effective ways to improve this ranking are economic stimulation and calculated investments. These methods require cooperative leadership for which a governmental reform may be necessary.

This highlights which of the following critical thinking principles?
A. Few "truths" do not need to be tested.
B. All evidence is not equal in quality.
C. Authority or expertise does not make the claims of the authority or expert true.
D. Critical thinking requires an open mind.
Answer:
B. All evidence is not equal in quality
Explanation:
The scenario that is being described in the question highlights the critical thinking principle that all evidence is not equal in quality. Just because the evidence is said to exist does not mean that it is of high quality or even of any value at all. Such as in this case, the scientists claimed that they had evidence of "cold fusion" but that evidence was useless due to their sloppy methods of recording all of their tests/findings.

(B) with some showing increased flexibility, while others did not
(C) with some showing an increase in flexibility and others did not
(D) some showing an increase in flexibility, while others not
(E) with some showing increased flexibility and others not
Answer:
The correct answer is : option E.
Explanation:
Option (E) "with some indicating this and others not demonstrating this" forms a equal structure with 2 participles following nouns after the "with" which is a preposition.
The general rule is that there should be a verb that is being supplanted by "did". In this case, there only a participle instead of verb, so the structure would not be parallel: (A), (B), and (C) can not be correct as one can not frame the sentence like a, b, and c. In option (D), "while others not showing" also incorrect as there would be requirement of a complete cause after while with a comma thus,
Thus, the correct answer is : option E.
