Answer 1

I believe the answer is It took a long time and included a number of difficult obstacles. Many pioneers attempted traveling West, but few actually made it- so I think the last one is not true either.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B

The statement that describes the journey westward in the mid-1800's is - It took a long time and included a number of difficult obstacles.

The people or travelers experienced several obstacles like- they included rivers to cross, they had vast mountain ranges, it possessed wild animals, there was threat of various diseases and had lack of basic resources. And eventually these hurdles made the traveling time taking.
