Question

Which statement highlights the difficulties faced by those working on the Panama Canal? (2 points)

1. Workers had to clear and level mountains so that the entire length of the canal would be at sea level.

2. The treaty allowed only Americans and Panamanians to work at the site, resulting in a severe worker shortage.

3. Workers had to dig out tons of earth in rugged, jungle-filled terrain under hot, tropical conditions.

4. Because there were no railroads in Panama, railroads had to be built first in order to move workers and equipment to the site.

Answer 2

Well,
The answer would be the number 3
why? because in the beginning when Ferdinand de Lesseps, a french engineer who built the swiss canal decided to create one in the isthmus of Panama due to its ideal location and width to save a lot of time and money on travels, they brought over from France workers and machines, used to create the swiss canal previously, but due to the clay soil and the tropical conditions they quickly broke, forcing workers to do most of the work manually.
Also, due to the heat and the still water, mosquitoes carrying different diseases like malaria and dengue, swarmed the area biting and infecting the workers, ultimately killing most.
Making them give up the whole project.
