liberstina [14]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The damages caused by Hurricane Mitch in 1998 were the following.

This terrible Hurricane killed more than 11,00o people from Central America. It struck this region on October 26, with category 5, causing severe damages. Scientists considered that Hurricane Mitch was one of the deadliest hurricanes in modern times for the destruction it caused and the people that died.

Latin Americans responded to this disaster by sending humanitarian help as soon as the storms and winds allow the airplanes and helicopters to fly to the region. People sent food and supplies, and Latin American countries sent soldiers to help people in need.

Other common natural disasters that affect people living in Latin America are earthquakes and volcanic explosions. Most people remember the strong earthquakes in México, Haiti, and Chile.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

M. Pollan (2006) describes in his book “The omnivore's dilemma: A natural history of four meals” that human kind has fighted to get food as a basic need since ancient times. Nowadays, modernity and the intervention of science have made possible to have almost all kinds of foods available at the supermarket, while in the past, in order to have food, humans needed to depend on their skills to grow or hunt their meals, because as omnivores as we are, we eat basically everything (vegetable or animal) and need it in order to survive. Though, we like to think that we now have a great diversity available, Pollan (2006) describes in his book that this is only an illusion, created by capitalism, because basically must of our food is only corn in different presentations, at the end, only corn…he refers “ there are some forty-five thousand items in the average American supermarket and more than a quarter of them contain corn” (p.11)

Which statement best illustrates a negative correlation between the number of hours spent watching TV the week before an exam an
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Students who watch more television perform more poorly on their exams.

Explanation:

Television can be very detrimental to students' academic performance. There needs to be a balance between the amount of time a student is watching and the amount of time he is studying, doing physical and academic activities, and sleeping.

The more time the student spends assuming the less time he will have for other activities. With this, the activities of academic nature will be impaired, the student will not give enough attention to the studies and with that the academic performance of this student will fall.

From this we can conclude that students who watch more television perform worse on exams.
