Answer:
c. The huge financial and propaganda effort of Mark Hanna and the Republicans.
Explanation:
The 1896 presidential election was one that became the deciding factor for the economy of the United States. The election took place during the Panic of 1893 which greatly affected the economy and living conditions of the nation.
Republican candidate William McKinley was pitted against Democratic candidate William Jennings Bryan whose main focus for the campaign was blaming the business sector for the failing economy. Contrary to Bryan's approach, McKinley worked with the businessmen, with Mark Hanna as his campaign manager. Hanna would become an important part of the Republicans' success in the election because of his efforts in rallying financiers and industrialists. Presenting a business proposal, Hanna succeeded in bringing a huge amount of financial help from these people.
Thus, the correct answer is option c.
Papyrus was a weed that grew wildly along the banks of the Nile River. It grew about 10 feet high. It was used to make everything!
The ancient Egyptians used papyrus to make paper, baskets, sandals, mats, rope, blankets, tables, chairs, mattresses, medicine, perfume, food, and clothes. Truly, papyrus was an important "gift of the Nile".
They even tried to make boats out of papyrus, but that did not work very well. Papyrus absorbs water. Boats made of papyrus would become waterlogged and sink.
