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.

Which of the following best compares the economies of japan north korea china and india
Kamila [148]

Answer:

a. south korea has more private business than india and china

Explanation:

South Korea is an advanced, market-oriented economy, with a GDP Per capita of over 30,000 dollars, much higher than India's or China's.

Even if the South Korea economy has very strong conglomerates like Samsung and Hyundai (they are called chaebol in South Korea), medium and small private businesses are the backbone of the country, like in any other advanced, market-oriented economy.

China does not have as many private businesses (proportionally) because it is not as populated, and because the government controls a larger part of the economy. In India, the economy is a lot poorer, and this makes it harder for private businesses to succeed.
