Which excerpt from the great fire supports the theme that some people try to take advantage of others during disasters? a) an exhausted chamberlin came to the randolph street bridge and discovered “a torrent of humanity pouring over the bridge.” b) “ one overloaded wagon broke down, there were enough men on hand to drag it and its contents over the bridge by force.” c) eventually, white got his wagon through, deposited his possessions, and headed back. d) i heard of cartmen demanding one hundred and fifty dollars (in hand, of course) for carrying a single load.

D) I heard of cartmen demanding one hundred and fifty dollars (in hand, of course) for carrying a single load.

Explanation:

This is the best example of how some people try to take advantage of others during disasters. In this line, we learn of the behaviour of cartmen. Knowing that people do not have any option left, and cannot carry their loads in any other way, they decided to take advantage of it. We learn that they raised their prices significantly, demanding one hundred and fifty dollars for carrying a single load.

The Answer is D

Explanation:

Well he was making people pay extra because he knew they really needed to use his cart, and I took the test and this is correct!

you didn't give any answers to choose from so i can't with this but, i do know something that the mexican government would be worried about and that is the wall that donald trump is currently trying to get up.

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
