Question

Which of these statements is true of steamboat travel?

Steamboats could only move downriver since they relied on wind power.
Steamboats could only transport people since they were not large enough to carry
goods.
Steamboats increased trade and profits because goods could be moved more quickly
and cheaply.
Steamboats reduced opportunities for international interaction because they could
not cross the Atlantic Ocean

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so steamboats could cary like 30-50 tons, so b is incorrect.

steamboats are powered by steam... not by wind, so a is incorrect.

Go..o.g.l.....e says that there was a steamboat that had crossed the atlantic, so that automatically makes D false.

I would assume that steamboats increased trade and profits because goods could be moved more quickly.
