Answer 1

If William Penn’s original plan to have large lawns and gardens between Philadelphia houses had been carried out, it would not have been an important port.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The land that was selected by William Penn was a point where two rivers meet. That area gave the people of Philadelphia an access to the Atlantic ocean in an easy way and was an important route and a port for the trade of that region. And if her original plan had been carried out, this site wouldn't have become an important route for the trade in the interior of Pennsylvania.
