In 1999, Congress approved legislation establishing a system to identify states in the West that might provide nuclear storage sites, and promising money to communities that agree to store nuclear waste. By passing this legislation, which issue was the government addressing?
a. land use
b. education
c. research investment
d. industrial regulation

a. land use

Explanation:

Given that permanent nuclear storage sites are lands, in which the waste is placed in a steel container and buried deep inside the soil. But which such land or site is vacated to avoid potential contact of nuclear waste to humans or plants and animals.

Therefore, in this case, the correct answer is that the issue the government is trying to address here is the issue of LAND USE.

the right answer is the third one: turnpikes went short distances to connect markets. turnpikes, also known as toll roads, were very important for trade and transportation (of people, goods and products) in the 19th century, coinciding with the expansion towards the west. they contributed significantly to the economic development of the united states.

i think the answer is: cuba wanted to be independent from spain, and the u.s. wanted to end spanish rule in the west.
