Answer 1

Small amounts of other metals alloyed with gold change the colour as well as mechanical properties such as hardness. White gold for jewellery is formed by mixing palladium, silver, or nickel with gold, although the result is green gold with certain proportions of silver. White gold is commonly used for wedding rings in the USA. Addition of some copper gives "rose gold", a soft pink colour. Remarkably other colours such as purple (a gold:aluminium alloy), blue (a gold:indium alloy) and even black (a gold:cobalt alloy) may be formed.

Answer 2

In paragraphs nine and ten of the passage you provided, there is a description of the landscape and events during Paul Revere's ride from Lexington to Concord.

However, based on historical context, the ride from Lexington to Concord took place in the Massachusetts countryside during the American Revolutionary War. The landscape was likely characterized by rural areas, open fields, pastures, and scattered homesteads. The absence of a detailed description in the provided text makes it challenging to precisely determine how the landscape affected the mission's difficulty.

In general, though, the countryside setting could have presented both advantages and challenges. On one hand, open areas might have allowed for faster travel and better visibility. On the other hand, the lack of cover could have made the riders more vulnerable to detection by British patrols or individuals sympathetic to the British cause.
