Question

European countries MOST LIKELY wanted access to the Suez Canal because

A) it provided them with a faster route to travel to the United States. Eliminate
B) it is the only way to reach the Indian Ocean from Europe.
C) it protected Europe from warships in the Atlantic Ocean.
D) it allowed for easier and faster travel to Asia.

Answer 1

Each of the answers is a good answer but I believe that the one that is correct is It allows for easier and faster travel to Asia. I know that I'd take that route if it would shave off several days off my overseas trip. I'm sure nobody wants to be stuck on a boat longer than necessary.
