What was one provision of the homestead act of 1862?

The Homestead Act was legislation signed by the American President Abraham Lincoln in order to accelerate the western territory settlement (the Great Plains) lying west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains in the U.S. and Canada.

One of its provision enabled adult men citizens, including black men, who had never borne arms against the U.S. government, to acquire 160 acres of the Great Plains, with the condition to pay a minimal filing fee and to improve the plot while living there for 5 years at least. After those 5 years of residence, the person could be entitled to the property.

the correct answer is “opportunity cost”. opportunity cost is what a company misses out because it decided in one option over another one. in this case, the company decided to invest in building a factory so it gave up another possible benefit or profit in order to achieve success with the factory.  

trade-off is not the correct answer since it is a situation in which you accept losing something in return for benefits in other areas.

and finally, consequence is a general term used to accept what it comes when you make a decision. it can be a positive or negative consequence depending if the decision you took was the correct one.
