    Correct Answer
    A. File an application
    Explanation
    The first step in acquiring land is to file an application. This is because before any other actions can be taken, such as improving the land or filing for a deed, the interested party must first submit an application to the appropriate authority or organization. This application typically includes information about the intended use of the land and any relevant documentation or fees. Once the application is approved, further steps can be taken to acquire the land, such as improving it or filing for a deed.

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. All of these
    Explanation
    A deed is a legal instrument that serves as a title to property and is used for conveyances and commissions. It is a document that establishes ownership and transfers property rights from one party to another. Therefore, all of the given options accurately describe what a deed is, making "all of these" the correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    A. A confederate
    Explanation
    The correct answer is a confederate. A confederate refers to someone who was part of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. Since the Confederacy was fighting against the Union and the Union was the one providing benefits and assistance, it is logical to conclude that confederates would not be eligible to be beneficiaries.
