2. Analyze this document; how are the two pieces of information connected? What pattern or
relationship do you see between the two?

Answer 1

The document appears to be a table or chart providing information about the miles of railroad constructed in the United States from 1860 to 1880, along with corresponding figures for Chinese and Japanese railroad construction during the same period.

The information is presented in a tabular format with columns for the years (1860-1880) and rows for the respective countries (U.S., Chinese, Japanese).

The document reveals the miles of railroad constructed in the U.S., China, and Japan over the specified years. A pattern of increasing railroad construction is evident in both the U.S. and China, with varying annual figures. The Japanese railroad construction data is available for a shorter period, but it also shows a substantial increase over the years provided.
