The Homestead Act of 1862 provided that any adult citizen (or person intending to become a citizen) who headed a family could qualify for a grant of 160 acres of public land by paying a small registration fee and living on the land continuously for five years. If the settler was willing to pay $1.25 an acre, he could obtain the land after only six months’ residence.
But the law did not provide the new beginning for urban slum dwellers that some had hoped; few such families had the resources to start farming, even on free land. The grants did give new opportunities to many impoverished farmers from the East and Midwest, but much of the land granted under the Homestead Act fell quickly into the hands of speculators. Also, over time, the growing mechanization of American agriculture led to the replacement of individual homesteads with a smaller number of much larger farms.

Explanation:
In psychology, Cognitive Dissonances refer to the distress that one person feels when he/she holds two or more contradictory ideas or when the person experiences evidences that contradict his/her own beliefs.

When examining the options given, we can tell that<u> e) When experienced reality contradicts basic religious beliefs</u> is one of the definitions of generators of cognitive dissonances since reality (experience) contradicts religious (personal) own beliefs.
Note:
a) is not an example of cognitive dissonance because there's nothing in reality that contradicts the belief. The person can actually think that he's not good enough for God to answer his/her prayers.
b) Is not an example since the fact that different people worship different deities does not necessarily questions our own beliefs.
c) Religions evolve and accept new ideas. This could create cognitive Dissonance in some people (since technically, God's word is eternal) but it's not necessarily a cause of cognitive dissonance.
d) Religious drop certain practices. Similar as c)
