Answer:

Option: D. Companies replaced hand-operated brakes with air brakes on trains.

Explanation:

In the early period, trains manually stopped by involving in hand-operated breaks. The handbrake worked by handling large wheel in the coach, attached to chains and levers which set brake pads under the train. To improve the safety of the rail coach, air breaks replaced because they were much more powerful and reliable, than the manual one.

The correct answer is option D. "Companies replaced hand-operated brakes with air brakes on trains". The development of air brakes on trains was a significant improvement of railroad safety. Air brakes function much more faster than hand-operated brakes, because hand-operated brakes required that the brakemen turned the brakes in one car and jump to the next to set the brakes on, and so on.

Which of your governments (national, state, county, municipal/township, or school district) do you believe has the greatest effe
nexus9112 [7]

The municipal/township government has the greatest effect on our life.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Since our daily life issues are taken care by the local or township government, it draws an important impact on our life. The federal or state government doesn't have enough time to resolve small problems or think about them as they have bigger tasks to hold the nation and development.

The water, electricity, road-safety, parks and other local systems need to be taken care by the township government. With local government, easier to transform thoughts into actions.

The policies and programs of local government are meant for us and the resolution of our daily matters. They make sure that our essential services and their supplies are not blocked anyway and the town may sustain its peace and prosperity.
