Question

the adamson act, which legislated working hours and pay in the railroad industry, was significant because
it allowed workers to be paid for ten hours but work for eight.
it limited railroad workers’ right to go on strike.
it set the minimum age for railroad workers at 14.
it blazed a trail for similar policies in other industries.

Explanation:

The Adamson Act established an eight - hour workday for railroad workers with ten - hour pay. Option A misrepresents the pay - work hour relation. Option B is incorrect as it didn't limit the right to strike. Option C is wrong as the Act had nothing to do with minimum age. The Act was significant because it was a precedent, leading to similar policies in other industries.

Answer:

D. it blazed a trail for similar policies in other industries.
