Answer:

The correct answer is C. buying up small railroad companies to drive up his business

Explanation:

According to history, Jay Gould between 1836-1892 of his lifetime was a railroad mogul in the United States predominantly in New York City. He was also a financier. Jay Gould's interest in the railroad industry grew beyond measures as he started with a move to invest in small railroads after much deliberation in 1859.  He was involved in so many railroad projects that led him into holding high positions in the industry and by 1867, he was made director of "Erie Railroad".

To grow his business and fully own the railroad industry, Jay Gould started some fraudulent dealings in his stocks and paying bribes to some bodies in government. He properly invested in "Union Pacific Railroad" stocks and soon gained maximum control.

Lunna [17]

Correct answer:

<h2>North Korea crossed the 38th parallel and invaded South Korea.</h2>

More detail:

At the end of World War II, Korea was divided between an area in the north that was under Soviet influence and in the south under American influence.  When 90,000 North Korean troops crossed the 38th Parallel and attacked South Korea on June 25, 1950, US President Harry Truman ordered American troops moved from Japan to South Korea to protect the South against communist aggression.  The United Nations also went into action.  An emergency session of the UN Security Council was held -- from which the Soviet Union was absent because the USSR was boycotting the UN over the exclusion of communist China from the organization.  Truman announced to the American people that he was authorizing sending US troops to prevent South Korea from being overtaken by communism. The UN Security Council met again and approved a US resolution approving the use of force against North Korea.  Military forces in the Pacific theater, based in Japan, were deployed in the effort.  There was no formal declaration of war by the US Congress, but Congress did vote to extend the draft and also authorized the president to call up military reserve personnel for duty.
