Correct answer:  C. Allowing slavery's spread to areas that had been free for more than 30 years.

Explanation:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act enacted by Congress in 1854. It granted popular sovereignty to the people in the Kansas and Nebraska territories, letting them decide whether they'd allow slavery.  In essence, this made the Kansas-Nebraska act a repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had said there would be no slavery north of latitude 36°30´ except for Missouri.

After the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into Kansas to try to sway the outcome of the issue, and violence between the two sides occurred.  The term "bleeding Kansas" was used because of the bloodshed.  Kansas and Nebraska ended up as free states, but the Kansas-Nebraska Act had allowed the possibility that slavery could become slave states.

How did new technologies make the building of skyscrapers practical
Westkost [7]

As I recall it was rolled-steel girders riveted together, probably from shipbuilding, together with steam-powered winches and an abundance of cheap steel. As opposed to European cathedrals erected with animal-powered winches and with more expensive forged iron bracing (one of the big cathedrals has a kind or iron corset to keep the walls from bursting outwards).

Match each type of government action with its purpose.
meriva

a. tariffs: to protect domestic industry.

b. anti-fraud laws: to guarantee free choice.

c. environmental protection laws: to safeguard natural resources.

Tariffs are taxes that are placed on imports between states. They are often used as a way to protect domestic industry.

A fraud is a deliberate deception to secure some legal gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Anti-fraud laws are passed to prevent and punish this type of behaviour.

Environmental protection laws are those that are created in order to protect natural ecosystems from human destruction.
