Question 2:
The rules of politics are not always the same as the rules of economics. In discussions
of setting budgets for government agencies, there is a strategy called "closing the
Washington monument." When an agency faces the unwelcome prospect of a budget
cut, it may decide to close a high-visibility attraction enjoyed by many people like the
Washington monument). Explain in terms of diminishing marginal utility why the
Washington monument strategy is so misleading.
Hint : If you are really trying to make the best of a budget cut, should you cut the items in your
budget with the highest marginal utility or the lowest marginal utility? Does the Washington
monument strategy cut the items with the highest marginal utility or the lowest marginal utility
Answer:
Explained below
Explanation:
Washington Monument strategy is a public relation tactic and a political tool to readjust the budget shortfalls in a way that it affects the local public. For instance the closing of Washington Monument as a result of low budget allocations then it can simply close a key public attraction to gain attention to the crisis.
It is a mode of manipulation highly debated of the nature and the way it operates. It simply functions by cutting down items with high marginal utility in pursuit of increasing political opposition of the budget cuts.
The cutting of low marginal utility does not affect people as much as the high marginal utility which in turn makes them more welcoming to it. The strategy is often misleading as people are unknown to the real agenda behind such steps taken.
Answer:
No,income and expenses change, so your budget changes too.

Why have some people criticized Joe Biden’s record on race? How has he responded?
Answer:
DETROIT (Reuters) - Joe Biden says he is done being polite when it comes to defending his decades-long record on race.
But when the former vice president is flanked on the debate stage Wednesday night by U.S. Senators Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey, who in recent weeks have called into question Biden’s commitment to racial justice, how he responds to their criticism will matter.
The sparring between the front-runner and his two black rivals for the Democratic Party’s nomination to take on President Donald Trump in November 2020 is likely to figure prominently when they meet in Detroit.
Biden has broad backing from black voters after serving for eight years under Barack Obama, the first black U.S. president. But Harris and Booker, seeking to chip away at that support, have said Biden mischaracterized his stance on desegregation busing and downplayed his role in the passage of a 1994 crime bill that exacerbated mass incarceration of black Americans.
After Biden’s lackluster debate performance in June, black and progressive voters will look for him to clarify positions from his 45-year political career and present a clear vision for moving the country forward, strategists and party insiders said.

“An acknowledgement of his history is very, very important,” said Yvette Simpson, chief executive of Democracy for America, a political organization that backs progressive and racially diverse candidates. “I still don’t think he’s owned up to that.”
She cautioned that Biden would be wise not to be too aggressive in his rebuttals. “African-American voters do still protect African-American leaders,” she said.
Booker and Harris could face questions about their own pasts. Harris has been criticized for her civil rights record when she was California’s top prosecutor. In a preview of possible debate fireworks, Biden recently took a swipe at Booker’s civil rights record as mayor of Newark, New Jersey.
But the main focus is likely to be Biden, who has made race a central theme of his campaign.

He has said he entered politics in the early 1970s to fight for civil rights and racial equality, and that he was inspired to launch his 2020 White House bid after a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where a woman protester was murdered.
He has faced criticism, however, for touting his ability to work with segregationists when he was a U.S. senator in the 1970s and for invoking George Wallace, the former Alabama governor and segregationist, to denounce Trump.
The latter insult prompted Trump’s re-election campaign to point out that during Biden’s first White House bid in the 1980s, he boasted about receiving an award from Wallace when he campaigned in the U.S. South.
Even so, a Monmouth University poll last week showed Biden with 51% support from likely black primary voters in South Carolina, the state that holds the first nominating contest with a sizeable black electorate. Harris had 12% support, and Booker’s support was negligible.
ADVERTISEMENT
Antjuan Seawright, a Democratic strategist in South Carolina who advised Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns, said black voters’ continued support of Biden showed a disconnect between news headlines and voter sentiment.
“We see a Joe Biden today who is evolving over time, and in the words of Jim Clyburn: ‘Thank God a man can grow,’” Seawright said, quoting a prominent black lawmaker in the House of Representatives. “We are seeing Joe Biden grow every single day.”
CRIMINAL JUSTICE OVERHAUL
Biden last week released a sweeping plan to rework the criminal justice system. The proposal would undo much of what was accomplished in the 1994 crime bill he stewarded through the Senate as chairman of its Judiciary Committee.
The 1994 bill was supported by a majority of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus, which cited concerns over violent crime in urban neighborhoods. But it came under fire for mandating harsher

For this, Galileo was arrested and threatened with torture and death, but he refused to deny what he knew to be true. "I do not believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use," he said
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
or this, Galileo was arrested and threatened with torture and death, but he refused to deny what he knew to be true. "I do not believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use," he said.
Why does the author include this selection in the article?
Answer:
The author includes the quote to show how great thinkers like Galileo were committed and dedicated to humanism and the sciences they believed in.
Explanation:
As you may already know, many great thinkers and scientists have been persecuted and punished for their thoughts and research. Today, we know that these thinkers were correct, but at the time that they lived, people did not take well the ideas and discoveries that they obtained, causing them to suffer strong reprisals from the church and the government. The most notable example of this was the persecution suffered by Galileo, but even with so much persecution he did not give up what he knew was correct.
When the author quoted Galileo in his article, it means that he seeks to emphasize the dedication and responsibility of these authors to what they studied.

Explanation:
The war did not terminate until the fifth year of Aahmes' reign. Its result was the complete defeat of the invading hordes which had held Lower and Middle Egypt for so long, and their expulsion from Egypt with such ignominy and loss that they made no effort to retaliate or to recover themselves.... It is thought that these captives were so numerous as to become an important element in the population of the eastern Delta, and even to modify the character of the Egyptian race in that quarter. --George Rawlinson, How the Hyksos were Expelled from Egypt, 1881 Because this description of Egyptian history was written by a non-participant, it would be considered an example of A) a biased source. B) a primary source. Eliminate C) a tertiary source. D) a secondary source.
Answer:
D) A secondary source.
Explanation:
A secondary source is any source of getting information or without the author participating in the scenes described in the text. The author may or may not be taking or writing based on his research in writing the book which can be a result of interpreting, evaluating, and analyzation of the scene described. Secondary sources can be academic/ scholarly books, articles, and commentaries, etc.
George Rawlinson's "How the Hyksos were expelled from Egypt" is a secondary source for it describes a scene that is from the past but which he is not a participant of. He is just interpreting, analyzing, and evaluating the event and then writing about it.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Explanation:
what are some ways in which the sahel is different from the tropical wet zone
Answer:
Explanation:
The Sahel is the area between Sahra (on the north) and savanna in Sudan (on the south). The climate of this area is usually dry and windy, with very short rainy periods. Weather is warm, and during the hottest periods, it can go even up to 97 and 108 °F. Yet, winters are usually quite warm as well – even during the cold period, the temperature doesn't go lower than 59 or 70 °F. The weather is mostly sunny, meaning there is sunshine up to 80% of daylight hours.
Tropical Wet climate is typical of the area around Equador, though not the whole belt, but only some parts of Brazil. Congo, Indonesia, and the Philippines. While the weather is also warm, there is prevailing rain during the whole year. Sometimes, rain falls every day. While the temperature is warm, it never is as hot as it can get in the Sahel. Temperature is always around 80 °F, while year-round, without much change. What is also different is that in the Tropical wet climate area it may seem as if the weather is warmer because of high humidity.
Therefore, the main differences are
Shael is very dry, while the tropical wet zone is rather humidWhile both areas are warm, the Sahel zone has more changes in temperature degree than the places where there is a tropical wet climateTropical wet climate is characterized by almost daily rainfalls, while in Sahel area, rain seasons are short and rare
