Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: westward expansion policy and outcomes

Step 1: Analyze Question 3

To evaluate the statements about the Erie Canal:

• "intensified commercial connections between eastern cities and the Great Lake region.": The canal connected the Hudson River (and thus New York City) to Lake Erie, dramatically lowering shipping costs and boosting trade between the East Coast and the Midwest. This statement is correct.
• "was completed in the 1820s.": Construction began in 1817 and was completed in 1825. This statement is correct.
• "was approximately 350 miles long.": The original canal spanned about 363 miles. This statement is correct.

Since all individual statements are correct, the correct choice is All of these.

Step 2: Analyze Question 4

The Erie Canal was proposed, funded, and built entirely within the state of New York, connecting Albany on the Hudson River to Buffalo on Lake Erie. It transformed New York City into the nation's premier commercial port and fueled the economic development of the entire state.
