Answer 1

Answer: a. Bring back furs to trade with France.

Step-by-step explanation:

Louis and Clark set out on an expedition on May 14, 1804. The goal of the expedition was to explore the northwest from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. The Americans bought the territory from the French. The expedition contained 45 people, and due to the hard journey, 33 people returned from the expedition. The expedition lasted two and a half years.
