To get the answer for question 8, you need to identify the main benefit of the Transcontinental Railroad.
Option A states that the railroad proved the United States' capabilities in engineering. This may be a potential benefit, but it does not directly address the main benefit of the railroad.
Option B mentions safe, high-paying jobs for immigrants. While this is a benefit, it is not the main benefit of the Transcontinental Railroad.
Option C states that the railroad created jobs and a quick path for settlers to come to California to make their fortune. This option directly addresses the main benefit of the railroad, as it highlights the job creation and accessibility for settlers.
Option D states that the Transcontinental Railroad raised prices of goods and made merchants and railroad companies rich. This may be a consequence of the railroad, but it is not the main benefit.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
To get the answer for question 9, you need to determine the reason why the Cherokee were forced into the Trail of Tears.
Option A suggests that the Cherokee wanted better land in the west. While this may be a desire for some Cherokee individuals, it does not explain why they were forced into the Trail of Tears.
Option B states that a few Cherokee leaders signed a removal treaty with the U.S. government. This is the correct answer because the Cherokee were forced into the Trail of Tears as a result of these signed removal treaties.
Option C suggests that the Cherokee's land was purchased by the State of Georgia for a small sum. This is not the main reason for the Trail of Tears, although it may be a contributing factor.
Option D states that the Cherokee decided to leave anyway to avoid further conflicts with white settlers. While conflicts with white settlers were a factor, the Cherokee were ultimately forced to leave as a result of the removal treaties, not by their own choice.
Therefore, the correct answer is D.
