Explanation:

Question 18

To determine the best fit for the "Characteristics of limited government" diagram, we analyze each option:

• Option F: Government officials disregarding all laws goes against limited government (implies unlimited power), so eliminate.
• Option G: Courts controlled by the leader means no separation of powers, not limited government, eliminate.
• Option H: Police with unrestricted arrest power implies unlimited government power, eliminate.
• Option J: Separate powers for government branches (checks and balances) is a key characteristic of limited government, as it prevents one branch from having too much power.

We need to identify the geographic feature defined as "a stream or river that flows into a larger river".

• Option A: A channel is a narrow waterway, not matching the definition.
• Option B: A lagoon is a shallow body of water, not a river flowing into another.
• Option C: A sound is a large sea or ocean inlet, not a river.
• Option D: A tributary is defined as a stream or river that flows into a larger river or lake, matching the given definition.

Analyze George Washington's excerpt: He recommends having little political connection with foreign nations and an equal, impartial commercial policy.

• Option F: Imperialism involves extending power over other nations, opposite of his recommendation.
• Option G: Neutrality means not taking sides in foreign conflicts and having limited political ties, which matches "little political connection" and equal commercial policy.
• Option H: Globalization involves extensive global connections, conflicting with his advice.
• Option J: Colonization is about settling and controlling other lands, not related to his message.

Answer:

J. Government branches have separate powers.
