Answer:

The transcontinental railroad shortened travel across the continent from an average five to six months to five or six days

Congress gave 100 million acres of land to the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads

The construction of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads eventually employed 20,000 workers.

Explanation:

The expansion of the American settlement and economic activities demanded the growth of railroads in many regions of the United States of America. The gold rush to California and the communication problem through acquired a more convenient method to reach across the stretch of the nation. Asa Whitney proposed a transcontinental railroad that would connect the nation from east to west but due to factionalism in Congress, it was ignored. Finally, in 1862 by the Pacific Railroad Act, the idea is finalized.

astra-53 [7]

The correct answer is A) Health Belief Model.

Attempts to promote free screening programs for tuberculosis in the 1950s largely failed because individuals did not believe tuberculosis posed a large threat to them. The fact that this affected their decision to get screened is best explained by the theory of the Health Belief Model.

This theory helps scientist and doctors to predict health behaviors. It has its origins in the 1950s and it was based on the idea that an individual wants to change his health behavior depend on some factors. These are Perceived Susceptibility, which means that people won't change their behaviors unless they consider that they are at risk. The other is Perceived Severity, that has to do with the consequences of the risk; Perceived Benefits they gain to accepts the behavior, and Perceived Barriers, that is the difficulty to do something that is going to benefit them.

The other options of the question were  B) Theory of Planned Behaviour, and C) Transtheoretical Model.
