The Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE) was the first dynasty of Imperial China (defined as the era of centralized, dynastic government in China between 221 BCE and 1912 CE) which united the separate states following the Warring States Period (c. 481-221 BCE), the era of near-constant warfare resulting from the decline of the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE). It was founded by Shi Huangdi (r. 221-210 BCE) who understood that the Zhou’s policy of a decentralized government had contributed to its fall and so established a centralized state which decreased the power of the aristocracy, eliminated the borders between different states, and operated according to the precepts of the philosophy of Legalism. It arose from the state of Qin (pronounced “chin”) which gave its name to China as it was the westernmost state and so the one which western merchants primarily engaged with.

The first reason that teen brains are more sensitive to junk food is that they are still developing the ability to assess risks and control actions. This happens in a region of the brain called the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex helps us weigh risks. It also helps us make decisions about how to act.
Which sentence from this selection supports the conclusion that teenagers' brains change over time?
A
The first reason that teen brains are more sensitive to junk food is that they are still developing the ability to assess risks and control actions.
B
This happens in a region of the brain called the prefrontal cortex.
C
The prefrontal cortex helps us weigh risks.
D
It also helps us make decisions about how to act.
Answer:
A. The first reason that teen brains are more sensitive to junk food is that they are still developing the ability to assess risks and control actions.
Explanation:
The sentence supporting the conclusion that teenager's brains change over time is the first sentence from the selection.
The first sentence provides some context clues such as the word "developing." This word can be associated with the phrase, "change over time." To develop is to become more mature, which is definitely a change. This means that the reason for the change relies on the development of the teenager's ability to assess risks and control his/her actions, which means when they get older, they become more capable of choosing healthier options.
Choices B, C and D do not provide any support regarding the development of the brain. They only state some facts regarding the function of the prefrontal cortex and which part of the brain the change occurs.

Answer:
my answer is below!
Explanation:
Abraham lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. He was born on February 12th, 1809, in Hodgenville, Kentucky. His living situation growing up was rough, as his father lost everything when Abraham was young and his family had to move to Perry County, Indiana. When he was just nine years old, his mother died and his sister Sarah took care of him until his father remarried. Abraham Lincoln was self educated and learned from books that he borrowed. When he got older, he worked various jobs such as a shopkeepter and surveyer. He soon moved into politics and won a seat in the Illinois Legislature when he was 25. When he was 33 years old, Abraham Lincoln married Mary Todd on November 4, 1842, at her sister Elizabeth's home in Springfield, Illinois. She was 23 years old. The couple had four sons, all were born in Springfield, Illinois and only one survived until adulthood. In 1860, Lincoln ran for President of the United States. He was a member of the fairly new Republican party which strongly opposed allowing any of the southern states to secede (leave the country). The republicans were also against slavery. They said they would allow for slavery to continue in the southern states, but that it would not be allowed to spread to new U.S. states or territories. Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 election and was inaugurated as president in March of 1861. His Vice president was Andrew Johnson. The southern states did not want Lincoln to be president. They did not agree with his policies. Abraham lincoln led the Civil War on April 12, 1861 at Fort Sumter in South Carolina just a month after he took office. Lincoln was determined to maintain the "Union" of the states. He called for an army from the northern states to defeat the south. What followed was a bloody war that lasted four years and cost the lives of 600,000 Americans. Lincoln faced all sorts of opposition during the war, but managed to hold the country together. One interesting fact about Abraham Lincoln is that he is the tallest president. He stands at 6 feet 4 inches.

In President George W. Bush's State of the Union Address of January 29, 2002, he reviewed the nation's response to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. President Bush drew controversy when he then sketched his plan for dealing with terrorism in the months and years that lay ahead. According to the president, the greatest threat to America came not simply from Al Qaeda, but from an Axis of Evil—nations that represented the ultimate repression of human freedom. The three rogue states—Iraq, Iran and North Korea—not only oppressed their own people, but also actively aided terrorist groups. Defeating this Axis of Evil became the cornerstone of the Bush administration's plan to defeat global terrorism.

Based on what you learned in this lesson, discuss the social reforms that shaped the nation in the 1800s. What do you think have been the lasting impacts of the Reform Era? How do these reforms influence society today? What do you think were the most important social reforms and why?
Answer:
The 1800s saw reform in the way we think about social issues as well as the rights of human beings. The issues that were on the table for reform were abolition of slavery, prison reform, and women's rights. Many of these arguments started on the foundation of the idea of who had value in a society and who deserved rights as an American citizen. The fight against slavery in the 1800s eventually informed the women's liberation movement as gender inequality borrowed language used by abolitionists to push against slavery. Today we continue these conversations because gender inequality still exists in society. Racism still exists in American society. We live in the wake of history so these toxic beliefs, or "isms" continue to impact society's perception on who deserves a voice and whose voice is amplified.
