Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) They discovered the Northwest Passage through a series of river systems across the continent of North America.

This statement is not an accomplishment of Lewis and Clark. In fact, one of the primary goals of their expedition was to find a water route across the continent of North America, known as the Northwest Passage, but they were not able to find it. They did, however, explore and map the northwest portion of the United States, meet Sacajawea, and successfully reach the Pacific Ocean after a year and a half of travel.

Answer 2

A.) They discovered the Northwest Passage through a series of river systems across the continent of North America is NOT an accomplishment of Lewis and Clark.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lewis and Clark's expedition aimed to explore and map the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and find a practical route to the Pacific Ocean. Despite not finding a direct waterway to the Pacific, they achieved a great deal, including mapping and describing the region's natural resources and native populations.
