Answer:

1. It had not been proven that Iraq had acquired weapons of mass destruction.

2. Saddam Hussein had not attacked the U.S. and had no connection to al-Qaeda.

Explanation:

President George W. Bush's primary justification for invading Iraq in 2003 was to eliminate what his administration claimed were Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs. The United States and its allies argued that Saddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq at the time, possessed stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and was actively pursuing nuclear weapons.

The Bush administration also argued that Iraq posed a threat to regional and global security. They believed that Saddam Hussein's regime supported terrorism and had links to Al-Qaeda, the terrorist group responsible for the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. Additionally, they claimed that removing Saddam Hussein from power would bring about democratic reforms in Iraq and help foster stability in the Middle East.

The decision to invade Iraq was controversial both domestically and internationally. While some countries, such as the United Kingdom, joined the U.S.-led coalition, many others, including France, Germany, and Russia, opposed the invasion and called for continued diplomatic efforts and inspections to address any potential WMD concerns.

In 2003, the U.S.-led coalition launched a military operation known as "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and toppled Saddam Hussein's regime. However, subsequent investigations found that the intelligence about Iraq's WMD programs was faulty, and no significant stockpiles of such weapons were discovered. This led to criticism of the decision to invade Iraq and its aftermath, as the war resulted in significant instability and sectarian violence in the country.

Read "Sonnet 29" by William Shakespeare. Then, answer the question that follows.

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

How does the form of the sonnet impact the meaning of Shakespeare's poem?

While push factors push people from their homes, pull factors pull people to new locations. Better education or medical care, family ties or a fondness for a particular place are all reasons that might attract a person to a new home. Like push factors, pull factors are based on the environment, culture, economy or politics. A family might move to eastern France to take advantage of the climate and landscape near the Alps, a long mountain range in Europe. This family would be pulled by an environmental factor.

Which of these describes immigration due to a political pull factor?
A. People leaving Eastern Europe in the 1940s when communist governments took hold of their countries.
B. People coming to the US in the 1940s because they were drawn to the democratic government.
C. People moving to Northern California because they are drawn to the mild weather.
D. People leaving Chicago because of the cold and snowy winters.

Redundancy is usually defined as the use of two or more words that say the same thing.
(Redundancy happens when the repetition of a word or idea does not add anything to the previous usage; it just restates what has already been said, takes up space, and gets in the way without adding meaning.)


Make two or more examples of the word redundancy (they have to be original) and I will mark branlest.


Examples of redundancy is brief summary, repeat again, return back, current trend, few in number, absolutely essential

Read this excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms” speech. Which part shows his purpose in making the speech to Congress?
A. (During sixteen long months this assault has blotted out the whole pattern of democratic life in an appalling number of independent nations, great and small.) B. (The assailants are still on the march, threatening other nations, great and small.)

C. (Therefore, as your President, performing my constitutional duty to "give to the Congress information of the state of the Union," I find it, unhappily, necessary to report that the future and the safety of our country and of our democracy are overwhelmingly involved in events far beyond our borders.)

D. (Armed defense of democratic existence is now being gallantly waged in four continents.) If that defense fails, all the population and all the resources of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia will be dominated by the conquerors. E. (Let us remember that the total of those populations and their resources in those four continents greatly exceeds the sum total of the population and the resources of the whole of the Western Hemisphere—many times over.)

Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp—Camille Grant, October 2011

Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.
