which diagram shows how human geographic factors contributed to the
settlement of the great plains?

C

Explanation:

Option C seems the most likely. Large dams came much later, so option B can immediately be ruled out. The end of the California gold rush also came later, and settlers were not forced to stop and settle along the trail, so option A can also be ruled out. Option D can also be ruled out, because if there were farmers already on the plains it means they must already have been settled.

explanation:

roosevelt believed that in light of the country's recent military successes, it was unnecessary to use force to achieve foreign policy goals, so long as the military could threaten force. this belief, and his strategy of “speaking softly and carrying a big stick,” shaped much of roosevelt's foreign policy.
