“In 1680 Pueblo leaders united most of their communities against the European intruders. . . . In a matter of weeks, the Pueblos had eliminated Spaniards from New Mexico above El Paso. The natives had killed over 400 of the province’s 2,500 foreigners, destroyed or sacked every Spanish building, and laid waste to the Spaniards’ fields. There could be no mistaking the deep animosity that some natives, men as well as their influential wives and mothers, held toward their former oppressors…. Some Pueblo leaders . . . urged an end to all things Spanish as well as Christian. After the fighting subsided, they counselled against speaking Castilian or planting crops introduced by the Europeans.” David J. Weber, historian, The Spanish Frontier in North America, 1992   Which of the following most shaped the events described in the excerpt?

“I said everything to them I could to divert them from their idolatries, and draw them to a knowledge of God our Lord. Moctezuma replied, the others assenting to what he said, that they had already informed me they were not the aborigines of the country, but that their ancestors had emigrated to it many years ago; and they fully believed that after so long an absence from their native land, they might have fallen into some errors; that I having more recently arrived must know better than themselves what they ought to believe; and that if I would instruct them in these matters, and make them understand the true faith, they would follow my directions, as being for the best.

First, even as they confronted one another, master and slave had to concede, however grudgingly, a degree of legitimacy to the other…. he web of interconnections between master and slave necessitated a coexistence that fostered cooperation as well as contestation. Second, because the circumstances of such contestation and cooperation continually changed, slavery itself continually changed. . . . Slavery was never made, but instead was continually remade, for power—no matter how great—was never absolute, but always contingent.” Ira Berlin, historian, Many Thousands Gone: The First Two Centuries of Slavery in North America, 1998   Which of the following primary sources would most likely support Berlin’s argument in the excerpt?

They painted a very black picture indeed of what the national representatives might and probably would do with the unchecked power conferred upon them under the provisions of the new Constitution. . . . But lacked both the faith and the vision to extend their principles nationwide.” Cecelia M. Kenyon, “Men of Little Faith: The Anti-Federalists on the Nature of Representative Government,” 1955   During the constitutional ratification process, Anti-Federalists’ concerns, as described in the excerpt, were most directly addressed by an agreement to

The generation of the knockout mouse model provided an important tool for scientists to study genetics in mammals.  During the creation of a knockout line, a chimera is produced after implantation of the transfected embryo (embryo containing the desired genetic deletion) into the surrogate mother.  Which of the following best explains why?
