Answer:

B  Any good that Trujillo did for the Dominican Republic was far outweighed by the corruption and terror he oversaw as the country’s president.

D  The Mirabal sisters are feminist icons that should be celebrated for their willingness to sacrifice their lives.

Explanation:

I believe the question is related to the article entitled "Trujillo & the Mirabal Sisters."

Rafael Trujillo Molina was a ruler of<em> Dominican Republic</em> from <u>1930 to 1961</u>. Although he accomplish many things as a leader such as<em> building public roads</em> and<em> reducing the nation's debt,</em> <u>his corruption and terror outweighed this. </u>He was known for enjoying savagery and became responsible for the "Parsley Massacre," which killed many Haitians.

On the other hand, the Mirabal sisters were <em>feminists icons</em> who did not fear Trujillo's tyranny. The sisters consisted of<em> Patria, Maria Teresa</em> and <em>Minerva Mirabal</em>. The code name that they used was <u>"Las Mariposas."</u> They showed their opposition to Trujillo's dictatorship by forming a movement that would overthrow Trujillo. This showed that they were willing to sacrifice their lives despite the risk involved in such a police state.

So, this explains the answers.

Answer:

Peer pressure feeds on the things that frighten us. ... Students often give in to peer pressure because they don't want to be rejected by friends. Youth are also much less likely to be sure of themselves or what they want, making them more susceptible to peer pressure that pushes them to test boundariesPeer Pressure. Peers play a large role in the social and emotional development of children and adolescents. Their influence begins at an early age and increases through the teenage years. It is natural, healthy and important for children to have and rely on friends as they grow and mature. but you should listen to what you think is right and you should be able to tell what's right from wrong and not have to be told by kids who are younger or few years older than you and are very careless to tell you how to do things. I do not you can get yourself into so much harm and you're easy to get manipulated by if you consistently listen to people that tell you those things and especially if they're not your parents or an adult that you know either. because people can tell you so many things just because they want to see you fail. peer pressure is not a good thing to live the rest of your life with or to just have a simple moment to and you should honestly not do the same thing to other people don't pressure them into doing something that you know for a fact that you couldn't do yourself.

The Wild Dog of Caucomgomoc The theme
Svetllana [295]

<u>Answer:</u>

The short story has a beautiful theme.

<u>Explanation:</u>

“THE WILD DOG OF CAUCOMGOMOC” by “Charles Boardman Hawes” is a short story in which a dog loses his owner and as a result of this he doesn’t interact with any other human. He stopped making any friendly relationship with humans. However, this behaviour of dog changed when he supports the town in a way no one expected.  

Thus, the beautiful theme of the story is that meaningful friendships can come from places from where someone is not expecting.

In England, the trunks of trees were blackened for many years by soot from factories. After passage of the Clean Air Act in 1959
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Charles Darwin´s Origin of Species

Explanation:

The way the peppered moth changed (or evolutionised) is in line with

Darwin´s origen of species theory. As its camouflage is vital for surviving, the peppered moth species turned out to be darker when the trees were blackened by soot and lighter after the Clean Air Act in 1959. This made them more difficult to be spotted by the birds and guaranteed them the survival of the best adapted (camouflaged) species.
