Answer: The right answer is the D) Social Security.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the expression "third rail"— a reference to the third rail system, a method of providing electric power to a locomotive by means of an additional rail that can cause electrocution if someone touches it — is used in politics in order to refer to a highly controversial topic, which, if tackled by a politician, will certainly have a long-lasting effect (usually detrimental) on his or her career. Arguably coined by Kirk O'Donnell, assistant to the Democratic speaker of the House, Thomas O'Neill, during the Reagan administration, the full quote read: "Social Security is the third rail of American politics. Touch it, you're dead."

!!!?? I need help with 2 Industrial Revolution questions.
Igoryamba

The Industrial Revolution changed the economy as it created more jobs, increased trade, and raised prices and lowered salary's. The Industrial Revolution opened a window for large business companies and factories for many, but factory life was very harmful and paid little to none. Thus requiring families to have children work just to have enough income for basic necessities. Trade was on the rise as goods were manufactured swiftly and efficiently.

The Industrial Revolution changed society as it caused urbanization, decreased safety, caused huge overcrowding and pollution. During the Industrial Revolution, safety within factories was not a priority and many workers were harmed or killed in work. Overcrowding occurred as many had to move from rural to urban areas to get jobs, thus crowding in slums and tenants. Pollution, specifically air and water pollution, was on the rise as smoke from factories increased green house gases and factories dumping out sewage in open bodies of water polluted the water.

Hope this helps!

enyata [817]
The best option from the list would be that "<span>c He did not believe presidents ought to have a third term," since it shows him refusing to take back his "throne" that is being given to him by the American people. </span>
