Answer:

The Reference section should start on a separate page under the centered heading References, which does not use bold font. The reference entries should appear in alphabetical order by authors' surname (or by title if works do not list an author) regardless of the type of source (e.g., book, film, journal article, website).
A. True
B. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
According to the APA (American Psychological Association), the Reference list should appear on a new page. The page should be titled 'References' in bold font and at the top of the centre of the page. The title should not be used within the quotation mark and should not be underlined.
The list should be arranged alphabetically, according to the surnames of the authors. The surname of the author should appear first and then the initial of the first and middle name of the author. For example, Shelley, P B.
So, the answer is false because the question says that the title should not be bold in font whereas, APA states that the title should be in bold fonts at the top centre of a new page. Thus, the answer is false.
Final answer:
The given statement is false because the 'References' title in an APA reference page should be boldfaced, and other reference entry guidelines should also be followed.
Explanation:
The statement given is false. When constructing the Reference section in an academic essay or paper using APA format, the correct practice is to create a new page with the title 'References' centered at the top. However, this title should be boldfaced according to the APA style guidelines. Each source must be listed in alphabetical order by the author's surname or by the title if an author is not provided. Works without authors are indeed listed alphabetically by the first significant word of the title. Furthermore, the Reference page should not only be alphabetically organized but also double-spaced with a hanging indent applied to each entry ensure clarity and ease of reading.

Explanation:
How do details such as "stone or metal," "many pigeons," "towers," and "wild cats that roam the god-roads" help establish setting? They create a feeling of a small mythical kingdom. They build an atmosphere of a preindustrial society. They give the sense that nature has taken over a once-urban area. They develop the feeling of an ancient village of a polytheistic culture.
Answer:
The sense that nature has taken over a once-urban area.
Explanation:
Mythical kingdom is possible (towers & god-roads) but a small mythical kingdom doesn´t make sense to me.
A preindustrial society is said to be in harmony with nature.
The feeling of an ancient village is not provoked by towers; that word, together with stone or metal could show a once-urban area that has been taken over by nature (wild cats that roam... many pigeons)
These details help create the feeling that nature has taken over a once urban area, as shown in the third option.
Why are these details important?Because they create an ambiance in the text.Because they are immersive and create mental images in readers.Because they emphasize the topic of the text.This question refers to the short story "By the Waters of Babylon" which shows a city that after being destroyed was taken over by nature and completely changed.

How many copies of Brain Friction Wondering of the Mind by Artwoodwrite sold and your sources please
Answer:
The number of copies sold is statistically difficult to determine.
Explanation:
The determination of the number of books sold by a particular author is a difficult task going by the fact that, most of the sale are made online and at various stores. Most of the customers that bought the books hardly leave feedback which would have aided in compiling the total number.
Also, some are sold as hard copies at various stores available within the author's country of residence and outside of it.
In summary, while looking at the Amazon website, I am optimistic that the author, Artwoodwrite was able to sell a substantial amount of the book Brain friction (Wondering of the mind).
Upon whom does Lincoln cast blame for the civil war and to what effect? A. Lincoln blames the Confederate States, particularly those states that first seceded, for refusing to negotiate. B. Lincoln does not actively blame anyone for the civil war, likely to avoid future hostility, but points to the institution of slavery as the cause of the war. C. Lincoln does not actively blame either side; rather he blames individual supporters of slavery, thus emphasizing the evils of the institution of slavery. D. Lincoln blames divine intervention for this war, for he sees the civil war as a form of senseless violence caused by an angry God.
Answer:
B. Lincoln does not actively blame anyone for the civil war, likely to avoid future hostility, but points to the institution of slavery as the cause of the war.
Explanation:
President Lincoln recognized the fact that slavery was a key factor leading to the Civil War. However, he was careful not to blame the southerners for the severe consequences of the Civil War.
Abraham Lincoln was cautious in assigning blame for the Civil War, focusing on the preservation of the Union and the moral issues surrounding slavery. Initial reluctance to ascribe fault evolved as the war progressed, with Lincoln's policies and the Union's fighting efforts reflecting a shift towards ending slavery in addition to reunification.
Explanation:When considering President Abraham Lincoln's view on the blame for the Civil War, it's critical to assess his stance on secession and the underlying causes of the conflict. Upon reviewing Lincoln's speeches and policies, we can conclude that he exercised caution in placing outright blame for the Civil War on any particular group. He emphasized the preservation of the Union as his principal goal rather than focusing on the abolition of slavery, at least in the early years of his presidency.
Throughout the period leading up to the war and his presidency, Lincoln stressed the moral wrongness of slavery, but also recognized the complexity of immediate abolition. The division between the North and South had been escalating for decades over issues such as states' rights and slavery, particularly with the idea of its expansion into new territories. While Lincoln's election acted as a catalyst, it was not the sole cause of the war. The blame for the Civil War can be observed more as an accumulation of unresolved tensions and the failure of last-minute compromises, such as the Crittenden proposal and the Corwin Amendment, than as the fault of a specific person or entity.
After the South initiated hostilities by attacking Fort Sumter in April 1861, Lincoln took more definitive action but continued to frame the war as a fight to preserve the Union. It was only as the war progressed, notably with the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, that the conflict also became explicitly a war to end slavery. Thus, Lincoln's approach to casting blame for the war was prudent and aimed at national healing and reintegration, without singling out the Confederate States or its individuals unfairly.
On His Being Arrived to the Age of Twenty-three
by John Milton
How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,
Stolen on his wing my three and twentieth year!
My hasting days fly on with full career,
But my late spring no bud or blossom shew'th.
Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth,
That I to manhood am arrived so near,
And inward ripeness doth much less appear,
That some more timely-happy spirits indu'th.
Yet be it less or more, or soon or slow,
It shall be still in strictest measure even
To that same lot, however mean or high,
Toward which Time leads me, and the will of Heaven.
All is, if I have grace to use it so,
As ever in my great Task-master's eye.

Glenn shows him a picture of a cat and the bird pecks at a cat symbol. The bird is showing:A. linguistic determinism.B. that it can form concepts.C. telegraphic speech.D. syntactic language.
Final answer:
The cockatiel trained by Glenn is showing that it can form concepts by associating pictures with the corresponding symbols on its cage.
Explanation:
Glenn's cockatiel is demonstrating that it can form concepts. The bird is not engaging in linguistic determinism, telegraphic speech, or syntactic language. Instead, it has learned to associate specific images with distinct responses, indicating a cognitive ability to differentiate between different classes of objects, such as dogs and cats. This ability shows that the bird can mentally categorize and recognize various visual stimuli, a cornerstone of concept formation.

In brave new world how does john respond when bernard suggests that he should be impressed by the speed of the bombay green rocket
Final answer:
John responds to Bernard's suggestion that he should be impressed by the Bombay Green Rocket with disinterest, attributed to his upbringing and differing cultural values in 'Brave New World'.
Explanation:
In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, John, who is often referred to as 'the Savage' due to his upbringing outside the World State's society, responds to Bernard's suggestion that he should be impressed by the Bombay Green Rocket with a lack of enthusiasm. John, being from a different background, does not hold the same values or awe for technological advancements as those from the World State. His reaction is likely rooted in his unique perspective and exposure to different cultural ideals, which is a recurring theme in the novel as it explores clashes between natural human experiences and a technologically controlled society.

During WWI, USA loaned money to Allies such as United Kingdom, France, Belgium etc, so they can provide themselves with weaponry and other war material. After the war was finished, Allies were broke and they were not in the situation to pay back loans and they relied on Germany who had the obligation to pay the reparation costs for all the damage in WWI. But Germany was in a bad situation too, so they lent money from the USA so they can meet its obligations. So all ll of them were sucked into this vicious circle. USA also collapsed thanks to loans of these two sides. Germany was pressed to come up with the money, but its industry was shut down, they tried to solve this problem by printing a lot of money, but that only caused hyperinflation.

(LC)Letter to a Citizen of Kentucky, an excerpt
Executive Mansion, Washington,
April 4, 1864.
A. G. Hodges, Esq., Frankfort, Ky.
My Dear Sir:
You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally stated the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows:
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel; and yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially in this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it in my view that I might take the oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power.
I understood, too, that in ordinary civil administration this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times and in many ways; and I aver that, to this day I have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means, that government, that nation, of which that Constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the Constitution?
By general law, life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life, but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution altogether.
When, early in the war, General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March and May and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this I was not entirely confident…
Yours truly,
A. Lincoln

Lincoln explains that he knows his political position doesn´t allow him to impose his ideas on slavery. He states that he can positively confirm that he hasn´t done that because even if he made his position about slavery publicly known, he hasn´t made any official act to end slavery by force.

You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally stated the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows:
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel; and yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially in this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it in my view that I might take the oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power.
I understood, too, that in ordinary civil administration this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times and in many ways; and I aver that, to this day I have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means, that government, that nation, of which that Constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the Constitution?
By general law, life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life, but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution altogether.
When, early in the war, General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March and May and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this I was not entirely confident...
Yours truly,
A. Lincoln

Things like your eyecolor and I are not under your control this is because they are determined by genes so I can't is a good example of an inherited
Answer:
Trait.
Explanation:
'Inherited traits' are described as the characteristics possessed by an individual that he/she has acquired or passed on to him through the genes(DNA). The parents often transfer their numerous traits like hair, complexion, aggressiveness, etc. to their offsprings.
As per the question, features like eye color and height would exemplify 'inherited traits' as they have been influenced by genes that the parents transfer to their child. These traits are transferred from one generation to another as DNA of parents is transferred to the child during reproduction and thus, their features or attributes tend to show a reflection of that. Therefore, 'inherited trait' is the answer.
