A.NO CHANGE

C.with its own government, banking system, postal service, and army.
D.that has to import most of its supplies, even such necessities as food and water.
The BEST answer would probably have to be C. Since the Vatican City is independent, it can act and survive with its own government, postal service, banking system, and army-the building blocks of a nation.
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. Rostamian, for some reason when I post a comment my name is random letters and number. I just wanted to clarify you that the comment on top was me, Rozin Tashchyan.

The answer should be C because D states that Vatican city is not independent by importing from other regions, rather than being independent is only relying on your own countries or regions natural resources.
ReplyDeleteRozin you click "comment as" right under the comment box and choose google for example go on from there...pizza
ReplyDeleteI know, I made this account based on my aim screename. So I commented as AIM, for some reason my name is that. I even went to my member basic information and changed my name to Rozin Tashchyan, its really odd.
ReplyDeleteRozin, I noticed that, don't worry, i think it's some sort of goof from their end...
ReplyDeleteBut more importantly, why did Onik just mention pizza? lol
Also, I believe Robert was the first person to sign up so he gets extra credit!
The answer should be C, obviously because every free country should have the following listed. If Vatican City is free then obviously it should have its own govt. Army postal service, banking system and etc. And shouldnt put its hope on importing food, water, and other resources.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for the extra credit Mrs. Rostamian :)
answer is c, cuz its c.

The answer is C. It shows that Vatican city is independent because it says it has its own government, banking system, postal service, and army.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is C because it's the one that makes the most sense :DDDD
ReplyDeleteI think the best answer is C.

The best answer that supports the sentence’s claim about Vatican City being an independent nation is letter C. It has better reasoning because if its a independent nation it would just import supplies, food, and water. It would have its own government, banking system, postal service, and army.

C. It's common sense. To be independent you need to have your own government, banking system, postal service, and army. The other answers are so irrelevant lol
ReplyDeleteThe answer is C because an independent nation should have its own government, banking system, postal service, and army.

i do not understand why people continue to "explain" why they chose their answer, it is completely useless to do this because the instructions state [quote] Given that all of the choices are true, which one best supports the sentence’s claim about Vatican City’s status as an independent nation?[/quote] and nowhere does it state to explain your reasoning. Please students answer with one letter answers D:
the answer is C because it provides evidence to support the statement
ReplyDeleteThe answer is C because if its already an independent nation then it should already have its own banking system,postal service,army, and government.
ReplyDeletethe answer is C because if your an independent nation you shouldn't need to import supplies in from other states.
ReplyDeleteIn my honest opinion, i strongly believe that the answer is C.
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is C because an independent nation need these things in order to survive.
ReplyDeleteI know the answer is C, because an independent nation will have it's own government,banking system,postal service,and army. Other answers are completely irrelevant.

ReplyDeleteThe answer should be C
ReplyDelete-sarin c
I believe the best answer is C,because Vatican City used to control the entirety of Europe so it could do what it wanted. Now I think it is considered a dependent state of Italy, but it is still a nation.
ReplyDelete-Tina Izakelian
The answer is C, because it gives reasons why Vatican City would be independent.

sorry for the tardiness, I'm posting this just in case I can get at least some credit <:)
I believe the best answer would be C, because it makes sense that if your independent, you will have your own government, banking system, postal service and army.
