Answer:

The United States Congress wanted to create a "transcontinental railroad".

Explanation:

The Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862 was the way through which the United States Congress wanted to promote all aspects referring to the establishment of a "transcontinental railroad" throughout the United States. United States Congress wanted to accomplish this through the utilization of government bonds as well as the grants of the land regarding the different railroad companies.

In 1853, Congress authorized the War Department to conduct some surveys related to the five possible transcontinental routes. These routes would be from the north of Mississippi to the south. However, any route was established.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: d) difference threshold.

Difference Threshold:

The difference threshold which is also called noticeable difference is the least difference in stimulation that we can detect half of the time. When the difference is noticeable on the eye or can be felt we are able to detect it through threshold difference.

Explain what a ""correlative"" is in chinese philosophy:______________________
docker41 [41]

Correlative thinking is a species of spontaneous thinking grounded in informal and ad hoc analogical procedures presupposing both association and differentiation.

Thinking that is logical or rational emphasizes the explanatory capacity of physical causes and is based on analytical, dialectical, and analogical argumentation. Chinese thought, in contrast, is based on an analogy type that may be referred to as "correlative thinking." In classical Chinese "cosmologies" as well as, less significantly, among the classical Greeks, correlative thinking refers to the correlation of image or concept clusters linked by meaningful disposition rather than physical causality.

A type of spontaneous thinking known as correlative thinking is based on impromptu and ad hoc analogical methods that assume correlation and difference. Instead of widely held beliefs about causal necessity, this mode of thought uses shared cultural and societal patterns as its regulative aspect.
