The Civil Service Act, also known as the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act, was passed in 1883, which falls within the period designated as "during Patronage to Merit (1918-1945)" based on the options provided. However, the actual year of passage (1883) predates the timeframe given in option B, indicating a possible error in the date ranges provided. The correct historical period for the passage of the Civil Service Act is during the transition from patronage to a merit-based system, but the specific years listed in the options do not accurately reflect the actual date of 1883.
