History

Answer:

British mathematician William Bourne made some of the earliest known plans for a submarine around 1578, but the world’s first working prototype was built in the 17th century by Cornelius Drebbel, a Dutch polymath and inventor in the employ of the British King James I. Drebbel’s sub was probably a modified rowboat coated in greased leather and manned by a team of oarsmen. Sometime around 1620, he used it to dive 15 feet beneath the River Thames during a demonstration witnessed by King James and thousands of astonished Londoners. Unfortunately, none of Drebbel’s plans or engineering drawings has survived to today, so historians can only guess about how his “diving boat” actually operated. Some accounts say it submerged via a collection of bladders or wooden ballast tanks, while others suggest that a sloping bow and a system of weights were used to propel the boat underwater when it was rowed at full speed.

IrinaVladis [17]
Answer wouldn’t be B because the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 forbade any restraint of commerce, which was used against labor unions. However, the Clayton Anti-Trust Act, passed during the progressive era, exempted unions from the Sherman Anti-Trust and stronger enforced the act. The Elkins and Mann-Elkins Acts didn’t really do anything for labor; they just gave the ICC more power to regulate railroads and interstate commerce, along with the Hepburn Act.

In short, best answer would be A.
