    Question 3: Correct answer is D.

    The interstate system created by Eisenhower did focus on rebuilding America's infrastructure. More specifically, this act allowed for the creation of national interstate highways that connected different regions of the country with one long stretch of highway. A perfect example of this would be Interstate 40 (aka I-40). This highway stretches over 2,000 miles across the US, connecting the east coast (starting in Wilmington, NC) to the west coast (Barstow, California). Before this time, the ability to connect individuals/cities was much more difficult.

    2nd question: Correct answer is D.

    The Soviet's became the first country to launch a satellite into orbit. This satellite, called Sputnik, struck fear into the hearts of American government and citizens. Americans worried that the Soviet's would become so far advanced with technology and science that they could spy on Americans more effectively or launch attacks on them. To combat this, the American government pushed the importance of science, math, and engineering to compete with the Soviets. This competition over scientific advances became known as the "Space Race."
