In the years 1840-1850, which Northeastern state had the largest white population?New York
Pennsylvania
New Jersey
Massachusetts

Answers

In the years 1840-1850, it was the Northeastern state of "New York" that had the largest white population, due mostly to the fact that many whites lived inland, away from the coastal regions. 

The correct answer is A) New York.

In the years 1840-1850, the Northeastern state that had the largest white population was New York.

During that decade, a great number of immigrants from Europe arrived in the United States. Basically, many people from Ireland. Historians say that almost 3 million Irish people arrived in America during the years 1840-1850. The port of entry was New York. It had an immigration office in Ellis Island. So many white people from Europe arrived through this port and decided to stay in New York.

The importance of Greek philosophy was not that its conclusions were always correct, but that for the first time it was based on:force
astronomy
hard work
reason

Answers

The correct answer is REASON

The Greeks argued that our senses are faulty and cannot really be trusted. There is even an anecdote that a Greek teacher said there is no movement, and a student got up and started moving, and got scolded by the teacher: you need to argue by reasoning, not by showing things to our senses which can be fooled.

Only our reason cannot be fooled, they argued.

How did mutinies affect the French and Russian army?

Answers

Mutinies in both the French and Russian armies (and navies) set each nation back significantly because it diminished their fighting force and decreased soldier moral.
I'm assuming you're referring to mutinies by soldiers that occurred during The Great War, which later became known as World War I.  

Men of the French army essentially decided to stop obeying orders and would not participate in any more futile attacks on the enemy.
An especially costly assault was launched by General Robert Nivelle, Commander of the French Army, in April 1917.  120,000 French soldiers lay dead after ten days and no ground had been gained.  After that, various regiments of the French army began to refuse to obey orders for further attacks.  About half of the French army ultimately participated in the mutiny.

In Russia, soldiers mutinied by participating in the Russian Revolution that toppled Tsar Nicholas II from power. 
In February, 1917, the Cossack cavalry refused to shoot (as ordered) on protesting workers in Petrograd.  The tsar's military governor in Petrograd issued orders to other military regiments to shoot any protesters who would not disperse, but many of the other soldiers refused such orders also, and mutiny spread.  By March 2, 1917, Tsar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate his position as ruler of Russia.
