How did the United States benefit from its purchase of Alaska?

Answers

Answer 1

The purchase of Alaska has proven to be a valuable asset for the United States both economically and strategically.

The purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, often referred to as "Seward's Folly," eventually proved to be a wise investment for the United States.

Some of the benefits the United States realised from the purchase of Alaska are:

1. Rich Natural Resources: Alaska is abundant in natural resources such as oil, gas, timber, and minerals.

Exploiting these resources has been economically beneficial for the U.S.

2. Geopolitical Importance: Alaska's strategic location provides the U.S. with a foothold in the Arctic region, allowing for increased presence and influence in international affairs, particularly as Arctic exploration and shipping routes gain importance.

3. Expansion of Territory: The acquisition of Alaska expanded the territorial boundaries of the United States, adding significant landmass to the country.

4. Strategic Defense: Alaska's proximity to Russia and Asia-Pacific nations has made it strategically important for defense purposes, especially during the Cold War era and beyond.

5. Economic Growth: Development of Alaska's resources has contributed to economic growth and job creation within the United States.

Which of the following sentences uses the present perfect correctly?
-Tú has buscado una casa nueva.
-Tú has buscada una casa nueva.
-Tú ha buscando una casa nueva.
-Tú ha buscado una casa nueva.

Answers

(a) deffinetlly 100%

Answer:

A. Tú has buscado una casa nueva.

Explanation:

In Spanish, the present perfect is formed with the conjugated form of the auxiliary verb “haber” plus the past participle of the main verb. Sentence “A” uses this tense correctly because the verb “haber” is correctly conjugated in accordance with the subject “Tú,” which is in second person singular, and is followed by the past participle of the ver “buscar,” which is “buscado.” This tense is used to talk about actions that started in the past and continue in the present or that are related to the present and about actions that happened recently.

The feature that the Philippines is most related to is having B. an archipelago.

The Philippines is a country made up of more than 7,000 islands, making it an archipelago. This means it consists of a group of islands spread over a large area in the Pacific Ocean.

Hello can you please help me out on this page of work please

Answers

The first answer is "estoy de acuerdo," which means "I agree." You can find this answer by the preposition right after the fill-in-the-blank line, "con." Since "estoy de acuerdo" needs "con" after it, you can deduce that this is the correct answer. The sentence says: Dear sir, I agree with you about the issue of driving licenses.

The second answer is "me parece," which means "It appears to me." Although "me parece" may seem like it should take subjunctive because it's subjective, "me parece" always takes indicative, which is why the verb following "que" is "comprenden," not "comprendan." The sentence says: It appears to me that everyone understands the importance of undocumented workers for the country's economy.

The third answer is "me moles-ta" (Brainly won't let me write it as one word) which means "it annoys me." Since this person thinks that everyone understands the significance of undocumented workers, we can infer that this person also doesn't understand why such significant people would be denied access to driver's licenses. The sentence reads: It annoys me that undocumented immigrants can't have driver's licenses.
