The Homestead Act of 1862 has been called one of the most important pieces of legislation in the history of the United States. Signed into law by Abraham Lincoln, this Act turned over vast amounts of the public domain to private citizens. 270 million acres, or 10% of the area of the United States was claimed and settled under this act. The Act provided that any head of a family who was a citizen, or declared his intention of becoming a citizen, could claim 160 acres of land. The claimants needed to pay a small registration fee and reside on the land for five years. Claimants were also required to build a home and grow crops on the land. If after five years, the original settler were still on the land, it would become his property, free and clear. [br] Which of the following, if true, would most undermine the validity of the author’s statements about the significance of the Homestead Act?
选项
A、Most settlers had moved on from their claim sites before the end of five years.
B、Most settlers chose to grow non-food crops.
C、Some congressmen thought there should be no registration fee for settlers.
D、Some non-citizen claimants were unable to become citizens.
E、Some of the land was unsuited to growing wheat.
答案
A
解析
The best answer is A. According to the passage, the Homestead Act of 1862 is one of the most important pieces of legislation in the history of the United States. However, claimants were supposed to reside on their property for five years in order to own it. If the majority of claimants left their land before the end of the five-year period, that would call into question the effectiveness of the Act.
