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.

Vsevolod [243]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to include the speech, we can say the following.

Based on what you know about Pericles and how this speech was recorded, one strength of this document as a source about Athens's political system is the call that Pericles made to all Athenians to continue to defend its land, the basis of democracy, and to support the war effort in a Patriotic way to maintain the liberty of Athens.

During his public speech, Pericles honored the soldiers that were killed in the Peloponnesians War against Sparta, another city-state in ancient Greece. After 27 years of war, the fierce warriors of Sparta defeated the Athenian troops.

How did King Psammetichos of Egypt decide which languages, Egyptian or Phrygian, was the older? 40 points!!!
Keith_Richards [23]

The King Psammetichos of Egypt decided which languages, Egyptian or Phrygian, was the older by believing that a baby reared without exposure to language would speak the original language of man, the king commanded that two children be raised completely isolated from speech. One day, one of the children uttered a sound which sounded like "bekos." Because this sound happened to correspond to a word which meant "bread" in the Phrygian language, the king decided that Phrygian was older than Egyptian.
