The correct answers are "deepen the meaning", "include spiritual themes" and "avoid punishment for political comments". The three beasts in Dante's Divine Comedy are a symbol of biblical sins: the leopard represents lust, the lion pride, and the wolf represents avarice. This gave a deepen meaning to the story, added spiritual themes and avoid the attention to the readers towards the political themes of Dante's masterpiece.
<em>B. European actions in both locations resulted in the destruction of entire societies.</em>
Explanation:
The Age of Exploration was the time when many Europeans went out and explored the world. They did this for numerous reasons, many wanted wealth and even the thrill of discovering new places made people want to explore.
Many new items were being discovered during this time. New fruits, animals, ores, and other things were being discovered and being brought back to Europe. This brought fortune to many people and spread new culture throughout many regions.
A lot of bad things came with the Age of Exploration as well, such as slavery and disease. The European explorers such as Christopher Columbus would find places such as the Americas and bring diseases to the people there, who had no immunity to them whatsoever, so it ended up killing a lot of people. A lot of European explorers also sold a lot of people into slavery in the Americas and Africa.
Between disease, slavery, murder, and other factors that the European explorers brought to the Americas and Africa, these ended up destroying and wiping out entire villages and societies.
Answers to #1:
Raphael Lemkin's definition of genocide was not accepted until after the Holocaust.
Raphael Lemkin had been studying the problem of mass killings of a people group since the 1920s, in regard to Turkish slaughter of Armenians in 1915. He coined the term "genocide" in 1944, in reference then also to the Holocaust. The term uses Greek language roots and means "killing of a race" of people. Lemkin served as an advisor to Justice Robert Jackson, the lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials. "Crimes against humanity" was the charge used at the Nuremberg trials, since no international legal definition of "genocide" had yet been accepted. Ultimately, Lemkin was able to persuade the United Nations to accept the definition of genocide and codify it into international law. In December, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which made use of a number of Lemkin's ideas on the subject.
#2: For item #2, you didn't ask a question, so I won't attempt to guess at what question you might have in mind. The definition as you quote it comes from Article II of the UN's Genocide Convention. Article III also indicts intention and conspiracy to commit genocide as crimes against international law. Article IV of that same Convention then puts teeth into the UN's action, saying, "Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals."
The answer would be: D) It has interpreted equal protection as applying to different groups of people.
The Equal Protection clause is the last part of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the USA:
<em>"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." </em>

Explanation:
According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:
- The National Defense Education Act.
- The Wagner-Peyser Act.

The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 was an act designed to promote the growth of counseling and provide federal funding for community mental health centers and research facilities. The act was intended to increase prevention of mental problems as well as decrease risks of hospitalization. This led to significant deinstitutionalization. However, due to a lack of funding, the act was considered a mixed success.
