Answer:

d. 160 acres were inadequate for productive farming on the rain-scarce Great Plains.

Explanation:

The Homestead Act of 1862 was signed by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862, which provides lands to anyone desiring it for an almost-free of cost. The legislation would become a crucial aspect for Westward expansion and also provides people from all walks of life the chance to acquire land.

Despite the huge surge in homesteaders, one negative aspect of the Act was that in that arid land of the Great Plains, a mere 160 acres was not much to farm with. This would become a pertaining issue for the settlers hoping to farm and maintain their survival.

Thus, the correct answer is option d.

The correct answer is A. It can be more responsive to the interests of citizens.

Explanation

Direct democracy is a form of government in which all members of a community/country/state actively participate in all decisions made there. On the other hand, there is indirect democracy, the evolution of direct democracy, in it, the decisions depend on a group of representatives elected by citizens, this modality of democracy has been adopted in most modern states.

Direct democracy has advantages over indirect democracy because it better responds to the interests of citizens as each of them will actively participate in the government, thus allowing decisions to be made and ensuring that their interests are taken into account. On the other hand, in indirect democracy, once you elect your representative, you have no direct control over the decisions he makes, regardless of whether they go against your interests. Therefore, the correct answer is A. It can be more responsive to the interests of citizens.
