In 1854, Sen. Stephen Douglas forced the Kansas-Nebraska Act through Congress. The bill, which repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820, also opened up a good portion of the Midwest to the possible expansion of slavery.
Douglas' political rival, former Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln, was enraged by the bill. He scheduled three public speeches in the fall of 1854, in response. The longest of those speeches — known as the Peoria Speech — took three hours to deliver. In it, Lincoln aired his grievances over Douglas' bill and outlined his moral, economic, political and legal arguments against slavery.

I think the answer is a or d
The correct answer is the following.
The correct matches are:
A. Retirement program: Merit good.
B. Infrastructure program: public good.
C. Stock investments: Individual good.
A retirement program is a merit good. The merit of having worked and pay taxes for an entire professional life. That is why pension is so valued for retired people after many years of service. Stock investments are individual goods. People invest, risk their money, are perseverant and patience, and at the end, they receive the interests for their investments. And finally, an infrastructure program benefits the citizens. If the government builds a new bridge or highway, it benefits millions of people and represents an improvement in the infrastructure of the city.
