Answer : 3. "23"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 23 Explanation: Let us assume the two persons who can speak two languages speak Hindi and Tamil. The third person then speaks all the three languages. Tamil – Number of persons who can speak is 6. Only Tamil 6 – 2 – 1 = 3 Hindi - Number of persons who can speak is 15. Only Hindi 15 – 2 – 1 12 Gujarati – Number of persons who can speak is 6. Only Gujarati 6 – 1 = 5 Thus the number of persons who can speak only one language is 3 + 12 + 5 = 20 Number of persons who can speak two languages = 2 Number of person who an speak all the languages = 1 Total number of persons = 23.

Answer : 3. "It prevented railroads from charging farmers more than other customers."
Explanation :
Answer: C) It prevented railroads from charging farmers more than other customers. Explanation: In 1887 Congress passed the Interstate Commerce Act, making the railroads the first industry subject to Federal regulation. Congress passed the law largely in response to public demand that railroad operations be regulated. Railroads discriminated in the prices they charged to passengers and shippers in different localities by providing rebates to large shippers or buyers. These practices were especially harmful to American farmers, who lacked the shipment volume necessary to obtain more favorable rates.
