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.

What did de Soto’s men do that made the Indians “excited” (got them upset)?
denpristay [2]

Hernando de Soto’s men went to the town from the camp and looked for maize (corn). The soldiers were not satisfied with what they got, so instead, they went rummaging around and searched the houses while seizing what they found. This made the Indians “excited” (got them upset).

It's starting to rain again; it's... the rain had (uh) slacked up a little bit. The back motors of the ship are just holding it (uh) just enough to keep it from... It's burst into flames! It's burst into flames, and it's falling, it's crashing! Watch it, watch it, folks! Get out of the way, get out of the way! Get this, Charlie; get this, Charlie! It's fire... and it's crashing! It's crashing terrible! Oh, my! Get out of the way, please! It's burning and bursting into flames and the... and it's falling on the mooring mast and all the folks agree that this is terrible; this is one of the worst catastrophes in the world. Oh, it's crashing... oh, four or five hundred feet into the sky, and it’s a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen. There’s smoke, and there’s flames, now, and the frame is crashing to the ground, not quite to the mooring mast. Oh, the humanity, and all the passengers screaming around here! I told you; it – I can't even talk to people, their friends are on there! Ah! It's... it... it's a... ah! I... I can't talk, ladies and gentlemen. Honest: it's just laying there, a mass of smoking wreckage. Ah! And everybody can hardly breathe and talk and the screaming. I... I... I'm sorry. Honest: I... I can hardly breathe. I... I'm going to step inside, where I cannot see it. Charlie, that's terrible. Ah, ah... I can't. Listen, folks; I... I'm gonna have to stop for a minute because I've lost my voice. This is the worst thing I've ever witnessed.

By reading and listening to Morrison's broadcast, we can say that he was surprised and horrified about the accident he was witnessing. It addresses people who have been waiting for reports of the Hindenburg zeppelin landing.

Explanation:

Morrison was scheduled to report the landing of the Hindenburg zeppelin, which was a great investment and a great novelty in aviation, many people were anxious to know the result of that landing and it is to these people that Morrison communicated through his report.
