Why was tacoma initially chosen as the place for the northern pacific railroad final station instead of seattle? a. the cascades cut seattle off from the interior of the region. b. residents in tacoma offered many generous gifts to the railroad company. c. there were more people living in tacoma at the time. d. tacoma had many natural resources that seattle did not have.

The actual reason was “When rails meet sails”. More specifically, the fact that Tacoma had a deep water harbor located at Commencement bay which facilitated the export and import of goods and people to/from the Pacific Ocean through Puget Sound.  However, it al also true that Seattle is surrounded by hills and mountains, therefore the best option would be A. The Cascades cut Seattle off from the interior of the region.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
