Answer 1

The following statements are true:

A. It took over nine years and 24,000 workers.

B. The canal would raise ships 26 meters above sea level.

C. Millions of cubic meters of excavated rock were removed by hand.

F. Accidents and disease took the lives of 5,000 workers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The US didn't follow the same approach as the French. The US adopted a different approach, which became more successful in building the canal.

The Gatun Dam was not small compared to others of its time. It was the largest earth dam in the world at the time.
