Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

1) D) Republican

The Republican Party had three of the four presidents of the late 1800s: Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley and Chester A. Arthur.

2) A) Using federal jobs as political rewards

President Chester A. Arthur signed the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act in 1883 with the goal of reforming the civil service profession. The act ruled that most civil service positions should be awarded because of merit instead of political relations.

3) D) Drought

Drought only became a widespread problem in the 1930s (the Dust-Bowl).

4) C) Grange

The Grange was born to promote the well-being of rural families, but it was not born to relieve any specific agricultural crisis.
