Answer:
The correct answer is D, as General Winfield Scott and his army did not travel along the Mexican National Highway during the Mexican-American War, as it wasn't even built at the time.
Explanation:
The Mexican-American War confronted Mexico and the United States between 1846 and 1848. It began as a result of the expansionist pretensions of the United States, whose first step was the creation of the Republic of Texas, which separated from the Mexican state of Coahuila and Texas. Other triggers were the entry of the US Army into the area between the Nueces and Grande rivers and the demand for compensation from the Mexican government for the damages caused in Texas during its war of independence.
The Americans landed in Veracruz and conquered the Mexican capital, after which the Mexicans were forced to sign the peace of Guadalupe Hidalgo, by which the United States annexed the current states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and part of today Wyoming.

Answer:
The correct answer is <em>Government troops helped put down both strikes</em>
Explanation:
The fact that government troops had to be called in to end both strikes is perhaps one of the only commonality between both these incidents.
The Great Railroad Strike began on the 14th of July 1877 as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has reduced the wages of it's workers for three consecutive years.
The Strike started in Martinsburg but quickly spread to New York, Illinois, Maryland etc. After 45 days, the strike ended as local militias and government troops were brought in. At the end, over a 100 people lost their lives.
The Homestead Strike began in June 1892 when workers protested to the reduced wages being proposed by the Carnegie Steel Company in the town of Homestead. The strike was proposed by a Union and the manager of the steel plant was determined to end it. Eventually, the company hired detectives to protect the plant and an armed battle began.
Government troops were eventually called in and the strike was broken.
