Read the paragraph from the section "Settlements generate wild behavior."
By the summer of 1867, the Union
Pacific was in Wyoming, covering far
more ground than the Central Pacific.
The Central Pacific broke through the
mountains in late June, which meant
the hard part was finally behind them.
Both companies headed toward Salt
Lake City, while cutting many corners
in their race to get ahead. They built
shoddy bridges or sections of track
that had to be rebuilt later.
Which idea is BEST supported by this paragraph?
А
Promoting competition between the two
railroad companies caused the Union Pacific
to reveal itself as the superior railroad
company.
B
Advocating competition between the two
railroad companies while failing to account for
different geographic features resulted in
resentful feelings.
с
Encouraging competition between the two
railroad companies resulted in a finished
product that was subpar in quality.
D
Nurturing competition between the two
railroad companies was clearly a major
mistake and caused humiliation for the
government for years.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
