For the first question, "One thing a person could do in 1900 but not in 1865 was," to find the correct answer, let's analyze each option:
a. ride on a train: In 1865, trains were already in operation, so riding on a train was possible.
b. sew a dress: Sewing dresses existed in 1865, and people could do it, so this is not the correct answer.
c. play a phonograph: The first phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877, so playing a phonograph was not possible in 1865.
d. read at night: Reading at night was possible in 1865, as candles and oil lamps were commonly used for illumination.
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is indeed c. play a phonograph.
Moving on to the second question, "The main argument in support of the Bill of Rights was that":
a. they would help opponents of slavery gain the upper hand: While the Bill of Rights does protect individual liberties, this particular argument is not directly related to the main purpose of the Bill of Rights.
b. without them, the United States would be a republic government: This option seems incorrect as the United States is indeed a republic government.
c. they would protect the people from a tyrannical government: This argument aligns with the purpose of the Bill of Rights, as it aims to protect individual rights and prevent the government from becoming tyrannical.
d. without them, the country would fall into anarchy: While the Bill of Rights helps maintain order, this option is not directly related to the main purpose of the Bill of Rights.
Considering the analysis, the correct answer is c. they would protect the people from a tyrannical government.
Lastly, to check the third question about the Interstate Commerce Act outlawing the railroads' practice, let's review the options:
a. charging equally for long and short hauls: This option seems incorrect as the Interstate Commerce Act aimed to regulate railroad pricing, not enforce charging equally for long and short hauls.
b. giving special rates to powerful customers: This option matches the statement you provided and is correct.
c. favoring Stalwarts over Half-Breeds: This option is unrelated to the Interstate Commerce Act and is therefore incorrect.
d. bribing the Interstate Commerce Commission: This option is also unrelated to the Interstate Commerce Act and is incorrect.
Based on the provided information, you correctly identified option b. giving special rates to powerful customers as the practice outlawed by the Interstate Commerce Act. The Act regulated railroad prices between states and prohibited providing preferential rates to certain customers.
