So in this situation, the opponent wanted to say that same number of people will travel by rail no matter if the price of the tickets will increase or decrease. The passenger service will be inelastic.

So the answer is "the railroad felt that the demand for passenger service was inelastic and opponents of the rate increase felt it was inelastic".

sergiy2304 [10]

The passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 resulted in the second battle of Seminole Wars (1835-1842).

The Seminole Wars were three conflicts based in Florida between the Seminole Tribe and the United States Army. The conflict was based on Seminoles fighting back against the forcible removal of Native Americans to federal reservations. The Seminoles, who were outnumbered, used guerilla “hit and run” war tactics that are still studied today.

Whats the difference between high-use academic words and key terms ?
Helen [10]
fall into three tiers.
Tier 1 words include basic or high-frequency vocabulary words and usually don’t include multiple meaning words.
Tier 2 words are less familiar to students but help in comprehending written texts and conversations shared between the teacher and student. Tier 2 words are “general academic words” and sometimes may be referred to as “rich vocabulary.” These words are precise but more subtle forms of familiar words and include multiple meaning words. For example, instead of saying “he walked,” one may say “he sauntered.” Tier 2 words cross over into a variety of domains or subject areas.
