Which of the following factors was not a part of the united states’ demand for new lands in the west? a. a political desire to compete with mexico and england b. economic problems that encouraged americans to seek new opportunities c. a shrinking population in the east that drove americans to live in cities d. a belief in manifest destiny and the united states’ right to expand

C.a shrinking population in the East that drove Americans to live in cities

Explanation:

All of the other three options are perfectly a part of the United States demand for the west new lands, the only one that is not true is the shrinking population since actually in the East the population started to grow larger and larger with the arrival of new immigrants that were looking for better opportunities and a better quality of life.

the correct answer is d. the monetary reserve is a set of funds represented in currency, money or similar, saved as a forecast of possible needs or for legal reasons.

the increase or decrease in the monetary base influences in the increase or decrease of the inflation rate. therefore, the excess of monetary reserve will cause the reduction of inflation.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
