A first grade teacher displays the 25 basic high

The Erie Canal, linking Albany and Buffalo as

Lakes:



A. was paid for wealthy European investors
B. was an economic disaster
C. greatly increased American agricultural
exports to Europe
D. was the last major canal built in the U.S. but
is no longer used
C is the correct answer.
The completion of the Erie Canal significantly
increased the export of food, particularly
Midwestern wheat, to England. The Canal,
financed mainly by state-backed bonds, was
very successful, reduced transportation costs
by over 90%, and inspired the construction of
other canals throughout the U.S. It is still used
today, though mainly for recreation.

your tests done BEFORE student teaching

once you are teaching and that can affect
your test preparation.

not certified so that is why it is extremely
important to get the certification tests done
asap.
