The correct answer is D) by selling their own government-granted land to farmers.

Railroad companies profit from the building of the transcontinental railroad by selling their own government-granted land to farmers.

With the passing of the Pacific Railway Act of 1862, the United States government authorized two companies to build the Transcontinental Road: the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific. These companies made possible the connection of the East with the West of the United States. The works ended in 1869, when both railroads met at Promontory, Utah, on May the 10th.

Who Sank the Lusitania and how that changed the course of the war.​
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

I always loved this topic.

Explanation:

The German U-boats sank the Lusitania. The Lusitania was a passenger ship heading east. It was also heading into the area that a U-boat was in. Since the Albert Einstein Was German, when he accidentally made the nuclear Bomb, they used it. but they were using it in the U-boats, and they were sinking the ships that were bombers, and also the ships that were trading goods, because they were in the middle of the war. The U-boat hit the ship in the side, and it blew part of the ship up. So then, when the people tried to escape, the U-boats hit again, which gave them a 0.4% chance to escape, but they weren't able to. They were close to shore, but it made the other side angry and somewhat terrified, because they wouldn't be able to trade goods with other countries. It also let the people know that they were bombing, and they had the bombs, because when they hit the bomber ships, it was in the middle of the ocean. But because they were close to shore when they blew it up, they all saw it.

I really, really, hope this helps you and you get a good grade on this. Thank you!
