Answer 5

One way that state government spending can improve the state's economy is by


A. reducing the price of gasoline and other fuels.
B. forcing corporations and businesses to increase wages.
C. increasing the amount of tax and other revenue.
D. providing jobs for regional contractors and workers.

This is tricky because there's more than one that could improve the economy...

Answer 6

So is this one a one only or multiple choice?

Answer 7

Because if it's one only, then so I say, not one nor A, I believe it to not be B, yet C it cannot be. What remains?

Answer 8

Sorry, I'm trying to help someone and get help at the same time... lol. You don't have to do anymore if you don't want to. I don't want to keep you up. I have about 10 left that i was unsure of, but you've already been very helpful so I don't want you to feel any pressure :)

Answer 9

It's 8:47 for me. I'm going to be up at least six more hours. I'm juggling four different projects all at once and believe me, this isn't a problem. You can go ahead and ask.

Answer 10

Wow, thank you!! I really do appreciate it a lot.

In what way do local governments regulate how land and buildings are used?


A. They create zones that designate certain uses for the property.
B. They set fees that are too high for certain types of businesses.
C. They deny permits to people without connections to city hall.
D. They divide the areas into equal plots to allow fair use for everyone.

Answer 11

These four answers contain what they show, yet only one is the one we know. The one we know is the one that's correct, a multiple of two, could it be yet?

Answer 12

You are such a dork. but very creative! x) Are you saying it's B or D?

Answer 13

So the riddle you understand, now grasp at the strands. Two speaks of fees so high, what answer soars with the number four?

Answer 14

Why, equal plots soars with four. If I'm understanding this at all xD

Answer 15

Try the one you see that rhymes with C, yet not B, and certainly not A, I say.

Answer 16

Okay, whew, I was understanding it. Equal plots it is. That was confusing! But thank you :) on to the next question, lol.

Answer 17

What would be the most effective way for a local government to obtain funds for transportation improvements?


A. petition the federal government for financial aid
B. apply for state grants to pay for the improvements
C. encourage citizens to write letters to national newspapers
D. organize a local fundraiser to help pay for the improvements

Again, I feel like this could be more than one answer

Answer 18

If I were a government, which I am not, I would truly seek to find something I sought. The one I choose to pick is the one we chose last, yet cut in half.

Answer 19

...B?

Answer 20

You have found that which you seek.

Answer 21

Haha, good, because I was thinking B as well.

B. selling or leasing public land for oil and natural gas exploration
C. setting a limit on the number of houses that can be built on public land
D. setting aside more undeveloped public land for parks and wildlife preserves

Answer 25

A pattern I see with our answers, all even, of four, what we had last time is the one you look for. *cough* Rhymes with C, yet not D *cough*

Answer 26

xD thank you. just let me know when you get tired of doing this... I still have a bunch and I'm sure you're already sick of me!! :)

Answer 27

One way that state governments have greatly altered the physical characteristics of many areas is by


A. providing financial aid to farmers in regions hit by drought.

A. former slaves.
B. former rebels.

C. Government agencies could not share U.S. intelligence.
D. The federal government could monitor phone calls of more U.S. citizens.

i know nothing about this. Lol

Answer 32

Two multiplied by two is four, the fourth contains an answer that sounds like B, yet like C, not like A, none of them I say. What remains?

Answer 33

by revealing that he authorized wiretaps on U.S. citizens after September 11. ... and designed "to detect and prevent terrorist attacks

Answer 35

Which is basically what I said.

Answer 36

Answer 38

I write in poetry to ensure no one comes down on my head for violating the "don't give direct answers" thing.

Here's my next question.

“At the heart of that Western freedom and democracy is the belief thatthe individual man . . . is the touchstone of value, and all society,groups, the state, exist for his benefit.

B. He felt that putting the public good first would create individual rights.
C. He felt that advancing personal freedoms should be the goal of society.
D. He felt that people should sacrifice personal freedoms for the public good.

Answer 42

For one like this, I believe, we should look to the one that seems most likely, to see something not easily found. The second and fourth are not the choices, as is the first. Therefore, the one that remains is our chosen.

Answer 43

A. determine the guilt or innocence of criminals.
B. protect the goals of our nation's founders.
C. support a particular political system.
D. maintain the security of our nation.

Answer 51

The last is what you seek.

That's probably what I would've gone with.

B. A person is convicted of immigration fraud and then deported.

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detentions, or exile.
Article 10.
Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations of any criminal charge against him.

Answer 55

The first, the second, the third and fourth, these are all correct. Yet, some are out of date. The one we wish to search for is the last, cut in half.

Answer 56

Great!! I just looked through this 60 question study guide lol and I now see that I answered all the text questions!! There's 10 picture questions and I've already answered 3, so do you mind taking a look at my last ones or are you ready to call it quits?

C. The government feels that health and human service benefits are crucial.

Answer 61

Well, that was awkward. It's like talking to Alistair. "Have you ever licked a lampost in winter" he says, and I go "Okay...uh, let's have a little chat about the little mage and the templar..."

Answer 62

Okay, moving on...

Answer 63

xD

Answer 64

C. The city's main concern is the maintenance and physical upkeep of the city.
D. The city pays the least attention to the importance of a growing economy.

Answer 68

Answer 69

Which description BEST completes the diagram?

A. Essential Civic Responsibilities
B. Major Functions of Civil Government

Answer 76

I take it you're going for a big exam?

Answer 77

And always happy to help!

Answer 78

Yes, the end of course exam is in a couple days, so I needed to get this study guide done so I could begin studying. I couldn't have done it without you :)

Answer 79

Yeah. I have the end of school on the 27th. I'm looking forward to it.

Answer 80

Me too!!! Definitely.

Answer 81

Eleventh grade is a bit hard. Except for history. Oh well. I've gotten one subject out of the way, hopefully I can get the others out soon.

Answer 82

You're in the eleventh grade? Wow... I thought you were studying in college! You're extremely smart.

Answer 83

Well, thank you! I like History a lot so that's why I have most of my answered questions here. Math's my weak spot but I"m working on rectifying that issue. As for college, not yet. I"m looking into something but I haven't actually figured anything out yet. You?

Answer 84

I'm a senior this year. I've thought about going to the community college, but I honestly don't know yet. I might apply for some scholarships at bigger schools or go to a cosmetology school so I can quickly get my beautician license and get a better job. But for now I think I'm going to take a year off just to save up my money and figure out what I want to do.

Answer 85

Community college seems to be a good idea, so I've heard. I'm looking into becoming an optometrist farther down the line. I'd definitely look into a scholarship if I got the chance. So, beautician? I take it you're going to be a fashion person? I don't know much about that kind of thing. As for taking a year off, that sounds like a good idea. I'd do that but I don't know. I mean, in a perfect world I'd have all the time in the galaxy to do nothing but have fun but this world is far from perfect so I just have to work with what I have.

Answer 86

I'm not taking a year off to have fun, I have some legal issues with my family that I have to clear and other things.. I wrecked my car so I need to save up for a new one, etc. So taking the year off just seems like the best suitable option for me. And it's actually not fashion... it's hair and make-up. I've always been good at that girly stuff. I'm not as smart as I'd like to be, so it seems like a pretty good job for me. And you'd make a perfect optometrist with all your smarts. :)

Answer 87

Legal issues...I won't pry if you don't want me to. I'll just respectfully listen if you want to tell about it. As for the car...well, I don't drive, so I'm not going to judge you. Hair/makeup....I know someone who's very into hair. A cousin of mine, fashion-oriented. I'm sure you and her would get along in that aspect. Probably. As for the intelligence, never put yourself down. As Nathan Fillion once said, everyone is a hero in their own way, and that certainly applies here. You've got something you like and you're good at, work with it.

I personally wanted to be a historian, or get paid for gaming, but neither seem to be things I could reasonably expect to find in demand out in the world. So that's why I went with the optometrist.

Answer 88

At least, that's things from my perspective.

Answer 89

I completely agree with you. I'm nervous about my chance of really being successful in the world.. but when the time comes, hopefully I'll be able to make it just fine. The legal issue is a long story... and the wreck wasn't my fault. I'd love to talk some time if you'd want to. However, it's 1:13am here in Florida... so I think I'm gonna take off to bed. Thank you so much again for helping me and talking with me. I think you're a pretty awesome person!

Answer 90

Yeah, I'm out in California so it's only 11:14 out down here. I'd love to talk! Later. Relax, I'll follow the rules up on your page, I'm not going to be one of those guys who goes "pics or gtfo" or whatnot (because can you imagine what Leliana would do to me? She'd impale me for that! But you do have a nice time sleeping (it's always great) and whatnot. Have a pleasant night/day! :D

Answer 91

Hahaha I'm not concerned about guys like you. You seem very nice!! Thank you, you too :)

Answer 92

Yeah. Trust me, if we ever met in person, I'd be a genuinely nice person. One who swings his arms around and makes battle sound effects and other things like that but nice anyways. Just a total geek.

Answer 93

I mean, really, I'm probably the only person I know who shouts "For The Grey Wardens" and swings his arms about like a sword making sound effects when no one's around.

Answer 94

But I really should let you go. Goodnight!

Let me go? Do humans believe conversation to be a form of imprisonment? This must be why so few are willing to talk. - Quote from Mass Effect

Answer 95

:) Goodnight.
