Read the following lines from "Vincent van Gogh: Portrait of an Artist."

Every Sunday on his way to church, young Vincent would pass the headstone carved with the name he shared. Did he feel as if his dead brother were the rightful Vincent, the one who would remain perfect in his parents' hearts, and that he was merely an unsatisfactory replacement? That might have been one of the reasons he spent so much of his life feeling like a lonely outsider, as if he didn't fit anywhere in the world.
Why would the author share this in the very beginning?

This information should be considered as the reader learns about van Gogh throughout his life.
The author wanted to find a way for readers to like Vincent.
The information is sensationalistic and will grab the attention of modern readers.
Readers enjoy feeling sympathy for the characters they read about.

Source 1: Excerpt from Senate Report 693, 46th Congress, 2nd Session (1880).
Freed by the Emancipation Proclamation in 1865, former slave Henry Adams testified before the U.S. Senate fifteen years later about the early days of his freedom, describing the process of sharecropping.

The white men read a paper to all of us colored people telling us that we were free and could go where we pleased and work for who we pleased. The man I belonged to told me it was best to stay with him. He said, “The bad white men was mad with the Negroes because they were free and they would kill you all for fun.” He said, stay where we are living and we could get protection from our old masters.

I told him I thought that every man, when he was free, could have his rights and protect themselves. He said, “The colored people could never protect themselves among the white people. So you had all better stay with the white people who raised you and make contracts with them to work by the year for one-fifth of all you make. And next year you can get one-third, and the next you maybe work for one-half you make. We have contracts for you all to sign, to work for one-twentieth you make from now until the crop is ended, and then next year you all can make another crop and get more of it.”

I told him I would not sign anything. I said, “I might sign to be killed. I believe the white people is trying to fool us.” But he said again, “Sign this contract so I can take it to the Yankees and have it recorded.” All our colored people signed it but myself and a boy named Samuel Jefferson. All who lived on the place was about sixty, young and old.
On the day after all had signed the contracts, we went to cutting oats. I asked the boss, “Could we get any of the oats?” He said, “No; the oats were made before you were free.” After that he told us to get timber to build a sugar-mill to make molasses. We did so. On the 13th day of July 1865 we started to pull fodder. I asked the boss would he make a bargain to give us half of all the fodder we would pull. He said we may pull two or three stacks and then we could have all the other. I told him we wanted half, so if we only pulled two or three stacks we would get half of that. He said, “All right.” We got that and part of the corn we made. We made five bales of cotton but we did not get a pound of that. We made two or three hundred gallons of molasses and only got what we could eat. We made about eight-hundred bushel of potatoes; we got a few to eat. We split rails three or four weeks and got not a cent for that.

Answer:

suitable soil for planting and cultivating cotton

"Suitable soil for planting and cultivating cotton" contributed to the economic growth of the 19th-century South. Thus, option 'C' is the correct option.

What was the Southern economy in the early 19th century?

The South was still mostly an agricultural region in 1860, and it was heavily reliant on exporting its primary foods to the global market. The most valuable export from the United States by 1815 was cotton, and by 1840 it was worth more than all other exports put together. Yet, while producing two-thirds of the world's cotton, the southern states had limited industrial capacity, only approximately 29% of the nation's railroad tracks, and only 13% of its banks.

Although the South did try exploiting slave labor in industries, its agricultural economy served it well for the most part. In contrast, the North was making good progress toward an industrial and commercial sector, which would directly affect its capacity to wage war.

Answer: Polar bears live in the Arctic, where it is cold and icy.  cause it describes where they live

Explanation:

Polar bears live in the Arctic, where it is cold and icy describes the habitat of polar bears. Thus, option 'C' is the correct option.

Where do polar bear's habitats?

Although they can swim well, polar bears prefer to live on top of the ice that covers Arctic seas for much of the year. They mate, hunt, and raise their young there. Polar bears depend heavily on sea ice. It gives them a place to dwell, reproduce, hunt, and in some cases build mother dens.

Alaska, Canada, Russia, Greenland, and several northern islands held by Norway, such as Svalbard, are home to polar bears. Sea ice that develops over the open waters where their seal prey resides is essential to the survival of polar bears. Polar bears are often solitary creatures who are active all year long while searching for food. They cover a lot of lands rapidly and are quite active and muscular.

What did Spain have to gain by supporting Columbus and his voyage? and be sure to use 8th-grade responses

Answers

Answer:

Columbus hoped to find a new trade route to India and the Orient by sailing west. ... Vast wealth could be gained by trade with the Orient, especially India, home to the spices the Europeans coveted.

Explanation:

In 1484 Christopher Columbus tried unsuccessfully to interest King John II of Portugal in voyages of discovery to the west. Columbus then offered his services in leading such an explatory voyage to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of what later became Spain. Queen Isabella in 1492 after the defeat of the last Muslim stronghold in Spain agreed to finance such a voyage and named Columbus as the admiral, viceroy and governor of any lands he should find. On August 3, 1492 Columbus' fleet of three ships left Spain and made landfall in the Bahamas on October 12th, about two months later. The fleet then sailed to the northeast coast of Cuba and turned to eastward to the island of Hispanola, which now contains the countries of Haiti and the Bominican Republic. There Columbus lost his flagship, the Santa Maria. He then returned to Spain to report his findings.

When word of Columbus' discoveries reached Portugal its king charged the Spanish with encroachment into the Portuguese realm. Ferdinand and Isabella then appealed to the Pope in Rome, who was in origin a Spaniard. In 1493 the Pope issued a proclamation (a Bull) which assigned all lands which were more than 100 leagues (345 miles) west of the Cape Verde Islands to Spain and the land east of that line to Portugual. King John II of Portugal was not satisfied with this division, which he felt jeaprodized Portuguese interests in the South Atlantic so he negotiated a treaty with Ferdinand and Isabella 270 leagues (930 miles) farther to the west. This treaty was called the Treaty of Tordesilla.

Columbus returned to Hispanola in 1493 with 17 ships and 1200 colonists. There was dissatisfaction with Columbus' leadership among the colonists and in 1496 Columbus returned to Spain to report his new discoveries and answer the charges brought against him by the colonists.

In 1498 returned on a third voyage in which he explored the area off the north coast of South America. He discovered the Island of Trinidad and the mouth of the Orinoco River. When Columbus went to Hispanola he found the colony in chaos the colonists in rebellion against him. To placate the colonists he granted pardons and gave them land and control over groups of natives. But despite Columbus' efforts to bring calm to the colony King Ferdinand appointed a new governor for the colony, Francisco de Bobadilla. Bobadilla arrested Columbus and sent him in chains back to Spain. Columbus was freed and made a fourth voyage to the Americas but he was not allowed to land on Hispanola.

Meanwhile other explorers were in the area. In 1499 Alonso de Ojeda sailing for Spain visited the mouth of the Orinoco River which Columbus had found on his third voyage. Accompanying Ojeda was an Italian whose presence was to have a profound impact on the region. His name was Amerigo Vespucci. Vespucci in 1501-02 led another expedition to the region of the Orinoco for the King of Portugal. A Portuguese navigator, Pedro Alvares Cabral, had sighted the northeast coast of Brazil in 1500 and the Portuguese king was interested in what else was nearby. Vespucci concluded that the sightings were of a new continent and stated this in letters he wrote about his explorations. Those letters were published and widely read in Europe. A cartographer in Germany, Martin Waldseemuller, assigned the name America to what is now Brazil on his maps in honor of Amerigo Vespucci. So the original America was South America.

They imposed heavy tariffs and tolls, and their pirates made sea travel dangerous.
