Answer:

The correct answer is B. A major challenge facing the builders of the Transcontinental Railroad was crossing the Serra Nevada.

Explanation:

The Transcontinental Railroad route followed the main roads used for the opening of the West, the so-called Oregon Route, the Mormon Route and the California Route, and the Pony Express. Going from Council Bluffs (Iowa), it followed the Platte River through Nebraska, left the traditional route to cross the Rockies in the Great Divide Basin in Wyoming and then stop through northern Utah and Nevada in the Great Basin before crossing Sierra Nevada to Sacramento.

Six months after the Pacific Railroad Act, on January 8, 1863 Governor Leland Stanford ceremoniously laid the "first stone" to begin construction of the Central Pacific Railroad in Sacramento, California. The Central Pacific made great progress throughout the Sacramento Valley. However, they reduced the progress of construction, first by the foothills of Sierra Nevada, then by the mountains themselves and, even more importantly, by winter snowstorms.

What is the most obvious sign of bias in a historical text?
grandymaker [24]
Your teacher may have told you something specific that they want you to write here. If not, I would say it would be the glorification or demonization of any historical figure. Worshiping a certain figure by giving them constant praise and attempting to excuse every one of their immoralities, or showing a hatred of a certain figure by emphasizing their immoralities and attempting to belittle or invalidate their good deeds and accomplishments.
