HELP PLZ HURRY!!

Which supporting detail from the passage would be most important to

include in a summary?


Until the 1800s, there was no such thing as standard time. Each local

town had its own time, based on the position of the sun over the town.

Times often differed between towns that were only a short distance

apart. In the United States, for instance, there were over 300 different

time systems

Why did this change? Railroads. With so many different times, it was

impossible for people to know when to catch the train Accidents even

resulted sometimes, when operators of trains using the same track

had different times on their clocks. So, to make train travel possible,

the world was divided into time zones, and times were standardized
