The cheapest way to live in Polotzk was to pay as you went along. Even a little girl understood that. In your father’s parlor hung a large colored portrait of Alexander III. The czar was a cruel tyrant—oh, it was whispered when doors were locked and shutters tightly barred, at night—he was a Titus, a Haman, a sworn foe of all Jews—and yet his portrait was seen in a place of honor in your father’s house. You knew why. It looked well when police or government officers came on business.
The czar was always sending us commands,—you shall not do this and you shall not do that,—till there was very little left that we might do, except pay tribute and die. One positive command he gave us: You shall love and honor your emperor. In every congregation a prayer must be said for the czar’s health, or the chief of police would close the synagogue. On a royal birthday every house must fly a flag, or the owner would be dragged to a police station and be fined twenty-five rubles.

Renaissance artists wanted to celebrate human
.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the options for this question.
However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following.
Renaissance artists wanted to celebrate human experiences.
That was the importance of the Renaissance, that people could free themselves of the rigorous teachings of the Catholic church that imposed its beliefs during the dark ages of Medieval times.
That is why important artists questioned those antique ideas about god and creation and expressed a new form of thinking through art. That was the case of Michelangelo Buonarroti, Leonardo Da Vinic, and Rafael.
Humanism challenged core structures in the medieval. Among them was that human beings could use reason as a way to make decisions based on their intellect, religion should be out of political and economic decisions that affect a society, and people started to challenge explanations that the Catholic church believe were valid about natural world.

History
Dionysiac
In every Greek city the god Dionysus was worshipped by fraternities and sororities and also by mixed communities. Dionysus was a god of fruitfulness and vegetation but especially of wine. The Dionysiac festivals provided an opportunity for stepping outside of the daily routine. The festivals included not only drinking wine and engaging in sexual activity but also participating in such significant features of Greek civilization as choral singing and mimes. In many cases, only the initiated could participate in the ceremonies. As almost every Greek did join in, initiation into the Dionysiac cult might be compared to tribal initiations. It seems that initiation into the Dionysiac Mysteries was accompanied by initiation into sexual life.

introductory paragraph that clearly states your position on ratifying the Constitution as a Federalist or Anti-Federalist
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
My stance is that of Anti-federalist. I support the Anti Federalist because they prefer to make a more crucial change and evolve better.
This is because, the Anti-federalist favor the states having more power and a good form of autonomy, from the central government, including individual rights being protected of which I agreed.
I also agree with the anti-federalist's perception of the constitution, which demands the inclusion of a bill of rights that is crucial to the citizen.

Explanation:
Secularization is the process by which liberal ideas gain popularity in a society such that traditional and conservative ideals begin to lose influence and relevance.
Medieval Europe was very conservative but with the period of the Enlightenment, people began to be more scientific and liberal until Europe led the world in secularization. Now they actively encourage it and impose sanctions on some nations who go against the process especially in the area of LGBT rights.

what situation allowed authoritarian governments to flourish in the 1920s?
Answer:
URL copied to clipboard
As the one hundredth anniversary of the beginning of World War I approaches, one may encounter some rather strained attempts to compare the current global balance of forces to that in Europe in 1914. I recently visited several countries in south east Asia and a different comparison struck me, the similarities between now and the 1930s, weak democracies and strong dictatorships.
This comparison “jumped off the page” after a week in Bangkok, followed by several days in Hanoi - a journey from a country with weak and faltering formal democratic institutions to an apparently stable one with an authoritarian regime (bordering on a country with a considerably more brutal dictatorship, China).
In The Age of Extremes, Eric Hobsbawm argued that the conflict between capitalism and communism determined the course of the twentieth century. This confrontation of socio-economic ideologies without doubt dominated European and global history, especially after 1945. But another, inter-related confrontation that determined the course of the century was authoritarianism versus democracy. The capitalism-communism conflict seems but a moment of history for people in their forties and younger. However, the danger of a rising authoritarian wave is as imminent in the twenty-first century as it was in the twentieth.
In most countries of Europe in the 1930s the contest between authoritarian and democratic visions of society dominated the political struggle. The exceptions were Italy where the fascists had already established an extreme version of authoritarian rule, and Britain where a rigid class structure gave stability to superficially democratic institutions. By the middle of the decade, capitalist authoritarian regimes were clearly on the rise in Germany and much of central and eastern Europe (e.g., Hungary and Poland), as well as Portugal, with Spain soon to join the anti-democratic camp.
Indeed, in very few of the industrialised countries in the late 1930s did democracy seem the stronger trend. Among the large countries only in the United States was there an unambiguous shift towards strengthening popular participation. Ironically enough it was during the presidency of patrician Franklin D Roosevelt that trade unions asserted themselves as a major political force (which would not survive much past mid-century).
Now, well into the twenty-first century it is even more difficult to find a major country with vigorous and democratic institutions, certainly not in the United States nor in Europe. In the United States the confrontation between a well-funded right wing Republican Party and the middle-of-the road Democrat Party dominates politics, one doctrinaire and aggressive, the other muddled and vascillating. The anti-democratic trend is demonstrated by passage of laws restricting the right to vote in Republican controlled states, linked to the racist xenophobia of the Tea Party. In the White House sits a Democrat apparently unconcerned by a massively intrusive national security complex.
In Europe anti-democratic trends are if anything stronger. Britain probably has the most extensive video surveillance network in Europe (see recent articles in the Guardian), as well as legal restrictions on the right of assembly, designed to reduce public protests (as we find in Spain). In addition, the Conservative-dominated coalition government’s brutal attack on poor households receiving social support in effect legalises civil rights violations. Surveillance, attacks on the poor and the government fanning fears of immigrants combine to make a potent anti-democratic package.
On the continent pre-existing authoritarian tendencies enjoyed a quantum leap under the EU-wide austerity regime fostered by the German government under the cover of the European Commission. The unelected governments in Greece (2011-12) and Italy (2011-13) represent the most obvious and shocking examples of the authoritarian trend. Much more serious in the long term is the EU fiscal compact (officially named the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union).
This treaty, which came into effect at the beginning of 2013, severely limits the authority of national parliaments to set fiscal policy. The treaty and additional measures demanded by the German government remove fiscal policy from public control (with monetary policy in the hands of the European Central Bank and beyond national accountability). This process in which major decisions are taken away from the electorate fundamentally undermines public faith in the democratic process.
Explanation:
Authoritarian governments were able to flourish in the 1920s because democratic governments were failing especially in the late 1920s and early 1930s. On top of that socialism was spreading which scared many people and authoritarianism seemed like a better option than democracy for stopping socialism.
What is an authoritarian government?Authoritarian government is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting. Political scientists have created many typologies describing variations of authoritarian forms of government.
Authoritarian regimes may be either autocratic or oligarchic and may be based upon the rule of a party or the military. States that have a blurred boundary between democracy and authoritarianism have sometimes been characterized as "hybrid democracies", "hybrid regimes" or "competitive authoritarian" states.
Minimally defined, an authoritarian government lacks free and competitive direct elections to legislatures, free and competitive direct or indirect elections for executives, or both.

Answer:
B. The speaker wants to win an election.
Explanation:
In the given passage from a speech, the speaker delves into the point of corruption which his opponent has accused him of. But the speaker counters the accusation by deflecting the same accusation at his opponent.
The speaker openly declares, imploring the audience "[to] remember on Election Day who the real honest politician is in this race. It's certainly not the man on the other side of the aisle trying to distract us from his own bad character." This deflection is done to point out the faults of the opponent and paint a good, much better picture/image of himself to garner support so that he can win the election.

You saw that some words were on the portrait. How did you interpret the words on the painting? How is interpreting words on an image different from interpreting words on a page?
Answer:
Reading words and symbols on a painting can be challenging because we must first comprehend the meanings of the symbols before connecting these meanings to the words to build a tale.
A painting is a kind of visual communication. We are confronted with a written text in literature, which is usually written in familiar words since we speak the language that appears on the page. Even though we can't see them, the characters we encounter in literature are usually recognizable human beings, and we can comprehend their dialogue because we've heard speech similar to theirs before.
When you look at a picture, you have to have a distinct set of expectations. An author can describe a landscape or a scene's setting, but an artist attempts to recreate it so that we can see it for ourselves. This raises challenges unique to painting, such as color, shape, texture, size, and the relationship between one group of figures or objects and another, all of which eventually coalesce into the work's style.
It is easier to read text on a page since they are organized in a logical manner. When an author utilizes descriptive words to appeal to the reader's bodily sensations, this is known as imagery. This aids the reader in comprehending what the characters are seeing, touching, tasting, smelling, or hearing, which helps to bring the story to life. When writing a story, authors choose their words carefully and decide how to structure them so that they are understood the way they desire. They not only aim to conjure pictures in the minds of their readers, but they also use the words on the page to establish patterns that lead to a deeper understanding of the text. This is what is referred to as language patterns.
In my view, when words are interpreted on a picture, the meaning is much enhanced since the image has a visual aspect to support it. To comprehend the message that the artist was trying to send, I analyzed the phrases painted on the artwork.
Explanation:
Answer:
Reading words and symbols on a painting can be difficult, because first we need to understand what the symbols mean and then connect these meanings with the words to form a story.
Reading words on a page is easier because they are arranged in an order that is easily understandable.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
What caused the sickness among the slaves that Equiano describes in this passage is that these slaves traveled in inhuman conditions because they were put in overcrowded spaces with no air or ventilation at all. This caused most of them to get sick and diseases spread easily.
Equiano’s account is evidence of the poor conditions under which enslaved people were transported and then sold.
This reflects the way slaves were treated during those horrible years of slavery and the Slave Triangle that traded African slaves to the Americas. In 1789, Olaudah Equiano wrote the book "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African," which describes his memories of being treated as a slave since he was 11 years old.
Olaudah Equiano's narrative shows how the interaction among the peoples of Africa and Europe impacted the course of slavery.

It seems that the Spaniards hated the "savage" dishes the Philippines offered to the colonizers, another example of this is the american colonization right after Philippines had a war with the Spanish colonizers. The Americans werw disgusted with the dish adobo and they tried to force people not to cook them anymore. The filipino language is a mix of South-east Asian languages like bahasa Indonesia plus spanish words and accent. The Philippines weren't fully independent until July 4, 1946. After the events of countries trying to colonize The Philippines, the Philippines prospered and became the 2nd richest country in Asia (1900s)Philippines then participated in the basketball olympics and other worldwide committees.

d.

Answer:
The correct answer is B. World War I.
Explanation:
A trench warfare is a war in which both sides have dug themselves opposite each other in trenches and other fortified positions, with the aim of halting the advance of the enemy, which culminates in a stalemate where neither side succeeds in breaking through the enemy lines. The best-known trench warfare is World War I.
In general, trench warfare is the result of technological advances that allow enemy soldiers to be killed faster than they can advance. For example, in World War I, repeating rifles, machine guns, and modern artillery made it possible to mow down soldiers in the open by bushes. However, as armies still moved largely on foot and horseback, they could not cross those same open battlefields fast enough to get close enough to the enemy and fire effectively at the enemy.
