Question 8 • LCS-Teacher Remediation-M/J United States History_Q3

What was one advantage of using steam-powered locomotives in the 1800s?

Answer

A

Locomotives were only used to transport cargo.

B

Locomotives were only used to transport passengers.

C

Locomotives relied on readily available horse power.

D

Locomotives could carry more goods than carriages.

Explanation

Steam-powered locomotives could haul much heavier loads than horse-drawn carriages, making it possible to transport more goods in one trip. They carried both passengers and cargo, so choices claiming they were used only for one are incorrect. They were powered by steam, not horses.
