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.

valentina_108 [34]

Correct answer choice is :

B) Arab Muslims

Explanation:

The Arab incursion of the Maghrib started in 642 AD when Amr ibn al-As, the ruler of Egypt, overran Cyrenaica, pushing as far as the city of Tripoli by 645 AD. Further development into North Africa anticipated another twenty years, due to the First Islamic civil war. In 670 AD, Uqba ibn Nafi al-Fihiri attacked what is now Tunisia in an effort to take the country from the Byzantine Empire, but was only partly strong. He established the town of Kairouan but was renewed by Abul-Muhajir Dinar in 674 AD. Abul-Muhajir strongly developed into what is now northeastern Algeria including the Berber confederation governed by Kusaila into the Islamic field of power.

Mashcka [7]
<span>The consolidation of work and profit became one of the primary ways in which people and business were impacted through the Industrial Revolution.  Factories helped to consolidate workforces and the development of products.  The consolidation of profit happened when more products could be created for greater profit.  The consequence of urbanization followed the factory process, consolidating a workforce into one concentrated area and allowing factory owners a greater pool from which to employ and enhance their profits and the production of their factories.</span>
