President franklin roosevelt declared a five-day “bank holiday” to
a. give bank employees some much needed time off.
b. give the government time to verify that banks were strong.
c. remind americans he was holding “fireside chats” on the radio.
d. remind americans the government was starting new construction projects.

The correct answer is B.

When President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the US president and arrived to office in 1933, he enacted the Emergency Banking Act that declared a bank holiday all over the nation. Banks remained shut for several days, and this strategy gave some time to the goverment to assess the strenght of the banking system, to avoid more bank closures and to design a solution to restore the stability of the whole system.

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.
