                                                 <u>  &Answer&</u>

<em>The Hepburn Act is a 1906 United States federal law that gave the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) the power to set maximum railroad rates and extended its jurisdiction. This led to the discontinuation of free passes to loyal shippers.[1] In addition, the ICC could view the railroads' financial records, a task simplified by standardized bookkeeping systems. For any railroad that resisted, the ICC's conditions would remain in effect until the outcome of legislation said otherwise</em>

Five methods of nomination used today include:
vovikov84 [41]

The five correct items are:

convention

caucus

direct primary

petition

announcement

Those are the means by which candidates enter the nomination process for public elections.   The two terms that don't fit are "inheritance" and "promotion."   An inheritance-based system would be like the old arrangements of monarchs or nobles, where someone took over the throne or provincial government simply because he was the son of the previous king or lord.  A promotion-based system would mean that persons advanced to positions of public office not through democratic election processes, but by being promoted internally within the government.  For some staff positions in government that does happen, and then those are appointed positions rather than elected positions.  But for elected positions in the government, democratic processes are followed.  Candidates for office must at least announce their candidacy.  They may need a certain number of petition signatures to get their names on the official election ballot.  Or they need to get on the ballot through preliminary steps by the larger political parties, such as caucuses, direct primaries, and the conventions of the parties.

How was the pillage and gift system useful to nobles?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

D. They could pay soldiers for their service with land rather than money.

Explanation:

The pillage and gift system consisted in the pillaging of conquered lands, and the gift of those lands to the soldiers who helped conquered them in first place.

As the functioning of the system implies, it was used by nobles to pay their soldiers with land instead of currency, since payments in currency form were not always convenient or possible because some nobles could not issue currency, or could do so, but at the cost of debasement and inflation.
