Question

Does anybody happen to know where I could possibly find the answer to this question? I've looked everywhere and I cannot seem to find it.

__________ kept shipping prices high and frustrated farmers.

a. pools and imported goods
c. pools and tariffs
b. pools and rebates
d. none of the above

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Commerce_Act_of_1887
look at the above site to see the context of pool

a tariff is a tax on imported goods

So if you were a farmer who grew your own food, which one would you not like?

Answer 2

Ooooh, So the answer would be B right? Because the farmers would be losing more and more money due to the tarrifs?

Answer 3

Wahoo, nicely done!

Answer 4

Thanks so much!
