The system made settlement and growth in all parts of the country easier by providing quicker and safer transportation of passengers and freight. a. highway c. steam boat b. railroad d. all of the above

The answer is highway

I believe the answer is B, and this is due to the fact that the question specifically says “freight”. Have you ever heard of a freight train? Also, trains had the capability of carrying both people AND cargo.

All modes of transportation could carry people, but sometimes not across the entire country. I think the answer is B due to the statement specifically saying “freight” and “all parts of the country”.

I could be wrong, though, so I hope that this helps :)

Ithink it’s a : ) good luck on whatever
