It had a brief existence of only sixteen months and was supplanted by the transcontinental telegraph. Yet it was of the greatest

importance in binding the East and West together at a time when overland travel was slow and cumbersome, and when a great national crisis made the rapid communication of news between these sections an imperative necessity.
Which of the following BEST summarizes the main message of these lines?

The Pony Express was invaluable during the national crisis
The Pony Express was all that was available during the national crisis
The transcontinental telegraph replaced the Pony Express (i think this is right)
The transcontinental telegraph would have been more effective (doubt this is right)

The answer is The Pony Express was invaluable during the national crisis. 
Pony Express started in the 1800s when three men had put up a mail delivery system that would reach from Midwest to California. The design of the system connected a number of over one hundred stations, each almost two hundred forty miles long, across the country. It had given a needed service but it was never quite the financial success it was envisioned to be.

hi I need ideas on what to write for a topic that goes like- Write a story in which a train ticket plays an important part
il63 [147K]

Answer:

You could do something like, there was a kid who was sent to ride the train and go to their relative to give them something. On the way there the character decides to help someone who fell so the character sets down their things including the ticket to help the person back up. Unfortunately a thief came by and stole the ticket. The character grabs their belongings and runs after the thief but as they were doing that the train was leaving. The character was to be back by 5 pm and that wouldn't be possible if they took another train, and they don't have the money to purchase another one. Nor does the character have a way back home. So they wander around and see a lady who is on the phone and she angrily throws the phone at the ground. She also throws her ticket. The character asks if she is alright and hands the lady her phone and ticket. The lady would be like "Yes, I'm fine" things like that and gives the character her ticket.

That's just one idea but hopefully it helps, and have a great day!
