11. To determine the correct answer for this question, we can analyze the options given:
a. rejected controls over government
b. elected weak legislatures
c. disregarded the rights of minorities
d. failed to vote
The question states that settlers valued democracy, so we can eliminate options a, c, and d as they go against the concept of democracy. This leaves us with option b, "elected weak legislatures." Although this is not explicitly mentioned, it is a possibility based on the information given. Therefore, the answer to question 11 is most likely b.
12. To determine the correct answer for this question, we can analyze the options given:
a. pediatrician who urged mothers to stay at home with their young children
b. spiritual leader of the beatniks
c. evangelist who led religious crusades all across the country
d. sociologist who first described the "silent generation"
The question is asking about Jack Kerouac, the author of "On The Road." We can eliminate options a and c as they do not fit the description of a famous author. Option b, "spiritual leader of the beatniks," is a possibility because Jack Kerouac was associated with the Beat Generation. However, it is not the most accurate answer. Option d, "sociologist who first described the 'silent generation'," is incorrect as well. The correct answer is option b because Jack Kerouac was indeed a key figure in the beatnik movement. Therefore, the answer to question 12 is b.
15. To determine the correct answer for this question, we can analyze the options given:
a. vote in local elections
b. vote for President
c. buy and sell property
d. run for national political office
The question is about NAWSA, which is the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Based on the historical context, we know that women fought for the right to vote. Option a, "vote in local elections," is too narrow as the focus of NAWSA was on gaining the right to vote on a national level. Option b, "vote for President," is accurate as it was one of the goals of NAWSA to secure the right for women to vote in all elections, including the presidential election. Therefore, the answer to question 15 is b.
16. To determine the correct answer for this question, we can analyze the options given:
a. Tennessee Valley Authority
b. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
c. Civilian Conservation Corps
d. Securities and Exchange Commission
The question is asking which New Deal Agencies still endure today. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are all still active agencies. However, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a temporary agency created during the Great Depression to provide employment and conservation work, and it is no longer active. Therefore, the answer to question 16 is c.
