Answer to Question 1

Responses will vary depending on the selection of artwork. In the period following World War I, the United States saw the flowering of art dedicated to building a better society. One of the most vibrant movements, the Harlem Renaissance, arose in an area of New YorkHarlem, which was home to many black Americans of all economic classes. Three experiences merged during this period: the rich heritage of Africa, the legacy of slavery, and the realities of modern life. During the decade of the 1920s, Harlem served as a magnet to great talent in all the arts, such as music, visual art, theater, and literature, in addition to the sciences. Louis Armstrong, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and Aaron Douglas are just a few of the talented artists in residence during this period. The Harlem Renaissance lasted only a decade and ended with the 1929 stock market crash. Artists continued to have a vision of a better society and believed that the arts had a social mission during those difficult times.

Answer to Question 2

C
Construction by intersecting planes is the principle behind the Breuer chair, and the Bauhaus sought to build new guiding principles of design compatible with 20th-century technology.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
