Think about the idea here and you'll see how the idea of "cost" is inevitable in every decision. (It's true not just of governments, but of our own decisions too -- but we'll focus on governments here.)
Let's say the government decides it wants all citizens to have access to health care. Well, that's going to cost dollars to pay for that health care. Where will those dollars come from?
Let's say the government decides, in response to school shootings or other acts of gun violence, to ban certain types of guns or ammunition. That costs something to the gun dealers who were making money off those sales (and they'll object). Or let's say the government decides to do further and deeper background checks on all gun buyers. Well, that will cost something in terms of personnel and processes to accomplish all the background checks. Or let's say the government decides to increase mental health screenings and treatment because persons with mental illness issues may become violent and dangerous to society. That will cost much in order to organize and carry out better mental health intervention across the country.
I focused on just a couple issues there (health care, gun control). But the same principle holds on anything government does. You can think about your own examples that you'd want to use. Anything the government decides to do comes with some sort of costs attached. That doesn't mean it's bad to make such decisions -- it just means we need to count the cost and invest our efforts where they will have the best benefit.

5. The United States wanted to acquire the Mexican Cession to B. complete the transcontinental railroad across the Southern United States.
However, it is important to note that this is also part of the Manifest Destiny. However, in this case, the more accurate answer is B, as the Gadsden purchase was used to create a easier route for the railroads to get laid (as the area surrounding were mountainous). However, it also played an important role in the Manifest Destiny, as it continued the policy of continuing to expand westward (though south west).
6. I believe it is A. Factors of the Creation of the Monroe Doctrine., especially in the long run.
The Monroe Doctrine was created during the presidency of James Monroe, who was office from 1817 - 1825. You must remember that the Louisiana Territory was under French rule, Florida, and south-western parts of the United States was under Spanish rule, and other European countries claiming smaller territories within the current US. However, with the purchase of the Louisiana Purchase as well as the Gadsden Purchase and the Acquisition from both the Texas Independence (in which Texas joins the Union), and the Mexican-American War, the US gained large amounts of territory at once, as well as large amounts of population. The Monroe Doctrine was an ultimatum to European countries, in which the US was the regional power, and that it would use it's resources to "protect" it's neighbors and it's own interests. In this case, the European countries were not to interfere with territories in the US, creating the U.S. sphere of influence. However, existing colonial powers were not removed by the U.S.

The Sparta, Athens, and other Greek communities collected natural resources to build walls to protect them from external attacks. However, they eventually succumbed to attacks via the ocean route.
