The professions of pharmacy and Medicine begin to split up during Renaissance?
The roots of today's scientific medicine trace back to the ancient civilizations of the Middle East, Asia, Greece, and Rome, where health and illness began to be viewed in a more scientific light. During the Renaissance, notable advancements were made, including the development of surgical techniques and treatment of burns.
Professionalisation within universities led to a structured hierarchy where professors known as ‘Ordinarius’ or 'Don' held dominant positions. This, coupled with the establishment of specialised faculties, led to a more objective measurement of scientific achievement.
The outdated role of the pharmacist, once known as a chemist, has evolved. In the past, pharmacists compounded their own drugs, using their knowledge of sciences like chemistry. Nowadays, they provide valuable health services, though they rarely compound drugs themselves.

What does the statement describe
Answer:
The answer to the question: what does the statement "Powers not explicitly reserved for the federal government are given to the states", is D: How the Constitution attempts to prevent conflicts between the states and the federal government.
Explanation:
This is an issue that became necessary due to the fact that historically speaking, there has been a lot of conflict between the power of the federal government and the power of the states. This was because the U.S Constitution leaves a lot of unanswered questions as to who has the precedence when it comes to unstated, or unspecified laws, and historically, it was usually balanced towards the states. In this particular statement, what is being specified is that when in doubt, as to whether the power goes towards the federal government, or the state governments, the scale tips towards the states.
Which of the following were offered aid by the Marshall Plan?
The Marshall Plan offered aid to: All European countries.
Explanation/context:
The "Marshall Plan" was named after the man who then was US Secretary of State, George C. Marshall. Officially the plan was called the European Recovery Program. Marshall announced the plan in 1947, and it went into effect in 1948. The intent was to provide aid and rebuilding to European economies after the damaging effects of World War II. Eastern bloc countries, however, rejected the plan, so it ended up as a plan that benefited Western European nations and not Eastern European nations.
In his speech introducing the plan, Secretary Marshall had said: "Our policy is not directed against any country, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Any government that is willing to assist in recovery will find full co-operation on the part of the United States. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist."
The view in the communist-controlled Eastern bloc was that the US was trying to use such a policy to spread its influence and threaten their patterns of government under communism.

-fought on for more three years.
-asked to surrender.
-faced certain defeat.
-conquered the Soviet Union.
The correct answer would be C.) Faced certain defeat
Answer: Faced certain defeat.
Explanation:
The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Battle of the Ardennes, was an offensive attempt by German forces to push back the front line of Allied forces that had encroached into previously German-controlled territory. Winston Churchill is the one who first referred to the "bulge" that the Germans had pushed through into Allied forces.
The Germans were initially quite successful in their offensive. However, Allied forces managed to hold their ground after the initial "bulge" of the Germans. Eventually, the Allies pushed Germany's forces back. And the effort overall cost Germany too much. The Allies suffered about 75,000 casualties, but Germany lost 120,000 men and much military equipment and supplies. Germany was exhausting its strength. The overall result of the Battle of the Bulge was that it crippled and demoralized Germany's effort to continue against Allied advances.
