How did george washington shape the executive branch?
a by appointing members to the first cabinet
b by directing the senate to create a military
c by asking permission to form executive agencies
d by declaring the nation’s first war against another country

The correct answer is letter A.

Explanation:  Washington knew that its actions could set precedents for its successors. This was especially so because the United States Constitution assigned the empowered Executive Branch, but did not specify many details of how it works.

Washington believed that it was important to make the presidency strong or sufficient to keep a new nation together, but to worry about exercising the presidency would not be about taking over the role of monarch.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
