9 hours 36 minutes
7 days

2 days

Explanation:

• Question 7: Fort Sumter, Fort Johnson, and Fort Moultrie are located in Charleston Harbor. West Point is located on the Hudson River in New York.
• Question 8: South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860.
• Question 9: The Confederate forces shelled Fort Sumter for 34 hours and 30 minutes, which is approximately 1.44 days. But among the options, 3 and 1/2 days is incorrect. The actual shelling lasted about 34 hours (1 day and 10 hours). However, if we consider the closest wrong - option analysis, the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter started on April 12, 1861, at 4:30 a.m. and ended on April 13, 1861, around 2:30 p.m. (about 34 hours). But if we assume a wrong - option approach (maybe a miscalculation in the question's options), the answer is based on historical facts.

Answer:

• Question 7: C. West Point
• Question 8: B. 1860
• Question 9: None of the options are correct as the actual shelling lasted about 34 hours. But if we assume a wrong - option set (maybe a mis - representation in the question), based on historical records (the start was April 12, 1861, 4:30 a.m. and end April 13, 1861, 2:30 p.m.), it was about 34 hours. If forced to choose from the given options (assuming a different calculation method in the question's context), there is an error. But historically, the closest (if we consider a wrong - option set) is not among the options. However, if we assume a miscalculation in the question's options (maybe a wrong time - span calculation), but strictly by historical fact, the shelling was about 34 hours.
