Answer:  D) to create railroad networks that spanned the entire country

Explanation: The government granted land to railroads to create railroad networks that spanned the entire country. Four out of the five transcontinental railroads that were built in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s were built, at least in part, using land granted by the United States government. These railroads were important because they made traveling easier and shipping good more affordable.

ikadub [295]

Answer:

They made it harder for an immigrant to become a citizen, allowed the president to imprison and deport non-citizens who were deemed dangerous or who were from a hostile nation, and criminalized making false statements that were critical of the federal government. The Federalists argued that the bills strengthened national security during the Quasi War, while critics argued that they were primarily an attempt to suppress voters who disagreed with the Federalist party and its teachings, and violated the right of freedom of speech in the First Amendment.[

Women working outside the home during the Roaring Twenties could expect: to make more money than men in the same position to wor
Art [367]
Hello, So  I am assuming this is a multiple choice question..
Your answer would be 

Make less money than there male counter parts, , women were most expected to make less money then men...

Reason being... is that they were looked down upon and many men thought it was shameful that a women made a higher income or got a higher wage than a man.
 Reason why the rest of the choices are wrong...

When some women got pregnant , they could not stay home (some of them depending on the boss) because they needed the money to support there families.
Women never made made more money then men back in the day,it was shameful to the man and the man felt like a failure , so women would get paid less.
Also, not all of the women back in the day (soaring 20's) got hired for a job because of gender discrimination, not to mention that they had kids and families they had to look after, so it was impossible for a lady in the time to work for  longer hours.
