The correct answer is False
Explanation:
In geography and related areas, the term "latitude" refers to the location of a place on Earth in reference to the Equator line, which crosses the Earth in the middle and divides it in North and South. Also, this is measuring in degrees from 0° to 90°, for example, the North Pole is at 90°N according to latitude. On the other hand, "longitude" refers to the location of places according to East or West, which is determined by the Greenwich or Prime Meridiam; this is also measured in grades from 0° to 180° according to the location of a place in the East or West. Thus, latitude is measured north and south of the equator, while longitude is measured to the east and west of the Prime Meridiam which makes the statement false.

The correct answer is D. It allowed the government to offer pioneers sixty acres of western land if they lived on it and made improvements to it.
Explanation:
The homestead act was necessary in the government's vision of Manifest Destiny and to expand the country westwards into new territory
As most of the country's wealth and population was in the north-east, it was difficult to promote the newly acquired territories for people to settle in. Without any settlers, there would be no economic activity in the region. Without economic activity, the regions would not provide any significant benefit.
Hence, the Homestead Act gave any American citizen the right to 160 Acres of land to farm and after 5 years, they would own the land. Unfortunately, the act did not bring in the development the government was hoping for as most of this new land make in the hands of Property Speculators.
However, that was not the initial intention which is why option C is wrong.
