Explanation:

1. For question 16: Appeasement policies of Britain and France toward Italy and Germany were partly economic; they avoided enforcing the Treaty of Versailles (which imposed harsh economic penalties on Germany) hoping to foster strong trading relationships that would benefit all economies.
2. For question 17: The "Miracle at Dunkirk" was miraculous because the German military hesitated, giving the British time to organize a massive rescue of their trapped troops. This allowed the British (Allied) forces to survive and continue fighting, even as France fell.
