The correct answer is B) to make train schedules simpler.

In 1883, the reason that led Congress to establish time zones in America was to make train schedules simpler.

On November 18, 1883, Railroads in the United States started to use standard times with four different time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern. So every part of the country synchronized their clocks with this new system and train schedules became simpler.

However, time-zone became official in the United States until 1918, with the passage of the Standard Time Act.

Which of the following is not required to become a naturalized United States citizen

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

<u>Having fingerprints recorded is not one of the requirements to become a naturalized United States citizen.</u>

Explanation:

Naturalization of a non-native person is the process in which that same person is admitted by a foreign nation to become a citizen. In order to become a naturalized citizen of the United States, the person has to meet certain requirements. Some of them are: being at least 18 years old of age when applying, being already a permanent resident of the United States or a green-card holder, getting a passing score in the US history and government exam, showing good moral, and showing an attachment to the principles that the US constitution represents. Having fingerprints recorded is not one of the requirements, in fact once the person meets the requirements needed and starts the process of naturalization, that is when the government takes the person's biometrics, that include recording her/his fingerprints.
