A. buy homes
B. default on loans
C. invest in dot-coms
D. sell stock shares
Also can someone explain why the answer is A and not B.
I thought it was B, but it says I got it wrong and that the answer was A (for both questions.)
Ohhhhh oof I didn't think about that on the other one heh. Thank you I'll be sure to remember that lol
It's B
Yes, you are correct. The United States used diplomacy to broker peace agreements in both Israel and Northern Ireland. To arrive at this answer, one could use general knowledge or do some research. Diplomatic efforts led by the United States have been pivotal in brokering peace agreements between Israel and Palestine, such as the Camp David Accords in 1978 and the Oslo Accords in the 1990s. In Northern Ireland, the United States played a role in facilitating the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, which helped end the conflict between Protestants and Catholics.
On the peace question, A is probably the best answer, but with fingers crossed. Bill Clinton did make the hyprocrisy of the UK evident, and it did spur some movement.
On the second: lower interest, easier money, more things are bought. Why would anyone default on a loan if the interest rates go down? The logical action is to pay off the higher interest with a lower interest loan.
