<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

A) The transatlantic cable was not functional at that time.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

Lincoln was shot at the night theater execution on 14 April, 1865, however Europe needed to sit tight for the Reuter release in early in the day of 26 April to find out about it.

The reason for this delay is that the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company of Britain  laid the cable in 1866, after various unsuccessful attempts.

What was one of Alexandria's great attractions?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. A big lighthouse.

Explanation:

The Pharos in Alexandria is widely regarded as one of the Seven Classic Wonders of the World. The tower bore the same name as the small island off the coast of Alexandria on which it was built.  It was the first lighthouse ever built, between 297 and 283 BC, and served for almost 1500 years successively for the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Arabs.  According to Arab and European travel accounts, the lighthouse was in service until about 1375 when a severe earthquake plunged the top half of the light installation into the sea. After that, the tower was not repaired. By the 15th century it had fallen into ruin. The remaining first floor was incorporated in the 16th century in a fort that still stands on Pharos today.
