Example Question #22 : U.S. Intellectual And Cultural History From 1790 To 1898
Cyrus Field was instrumental in ___________________.
Possible Answers:
a very damaging exposé written about Taft
the laying of the trans-Atlantic telegraph cable
None of these
the purchase of Louisiana
Correct answer:
the laying of the trans-Atlantic telegraph cable
Explanation:
Field is the “parent” in some sense of the Trans-Atlantic telegraph cable. Field was part of the venture (or, company) that laid the first cable (although it broke soon after). More importantly, Field was directly responsible for laying the cable that endured. With the trans-Atlantic cable in place, two worlds (well, really countries--the UK and the US) became closer together.
