<span>The practices of various trusts in the railroad, steel, tobacco, and oil industries.

"Antitrust Act" should tell you that it's against "trusts" which monopolized various areas of business and commerce.  A primary culprit was the Standard Oil Trust, which had been formed in 1882 and controlled over 90% of oil refining capacity in the United States.  John D. Rockefeller was the founder of the Standard Oil Company, but the Sherman Antitrust Act was not about his personal popularity.

There also would be antitrust action against ALCOA (Aluminum Company of America), but that action occurred in 1945, after the Roosevelt administration accused ALCOA of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.  What became the ALCOA corporation had just begun its history (in 1888) at the time of the Sherman Antitrust Act and hadn't yet developed into the full "Aluminum Company of America" until 1907.

Based on the myths “The Maori: Genealogies and Origins in New Zealand” and “The Raven and the First Men: The Beginnings of the H
Dimas [21]

One way the Maori culture most differs from the Haida culture is that the Maori culture "cares for the earth".

<u>Option:</u> A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Maori People are New Zealand's first citizens. In the 1970s, political activism led a revival in Maori culture and integrity. One of several Maori policy initiatives that had been implemented was the institutionalization of environmental protection.

One distinction between both, the creation myths of Maori and Haida is that the Maori claim the stars were generated to make the sky more magnificent, and the Haida sees the stars as a light source.The legend of the Maori formation tells a tale how human beings were conceived, and how nature contributed by sacrificing itself in their conception.
