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.

Which of the following was true of al-Qaeda prior to the September 11 attacks?
sweet [91]

The correct answer is D.

The 1998 United States embassy bombing occurred on August 7, eight years to the day after US troop were ordered to Saudi Arabia in the aftermath of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.

200 people were killed in nearly simultaneous truck bomb explosions in two East African cities, one in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and one in Nairobi, Kenya.

Al Queda was liked to these attacks as Osama Bin Laden considered the presence of US troops in the Saudi Arabia, home to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, a great offence. One theory says that they were carried out as revenge for the US involvement in the extradition and torturing of members of the Egyptian Jihad.

After the attacks, Osama bin Laden had been put on the ten-most-wanted fugitives list.
