Question

read the quotation from the interstate commerce act of 1887.
\all charges made for any service rendered or to be rendered in the transportation of passengers or property... or for the receiving, delivering, storage, or handling of such property, shall be reasonable and just; and every unjust and unreasonable charge for such service is prohibited and declared to be unlawful.\
according to this quotation, what is against the law?
option 1 all charges for the transportation of people or handling of goods
option 2 services rendered for delivering, storage, or handling of property
option 3 unjust or unreasonable charges for transporting people or goods
option 4 extra prices for the goods that are sold to consumers

Explanation:

The quotation from the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 states that all charges for transportation - related services (passenger or property transport, receiving, delivering, storage, handling of property) must be reasonable and just. It also says that every unjust and unreasonable charge for such services is prohibited and unlawful. So we need to find the option that matches this description.

• Option 1: Just "all charges" is not against the law, only unjust/unreasonable ones are, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: The services themselves (delivering, storage, handling) are not against the law, it's the unjust/unreasonable charges for them that are, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: This option says "unjust or unreasonable charges for transporting people or goods", which matches the part of the quotation that prohibits unjust and unreasonable charges for transportation - related services, so this is correct.
• Option 4: The quotation has nothing to do with who owns the goods sold to consumers, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. unjust or unreasonable charges for transporting people or goods (assuming the option identifiers are A, B, C, D with C being the correct one as per the analysis)
