I picked option A
That's correct. People in Washington bought "liberty bonds" to fund the World War I effort.
To determine the statement that farmers and manufacturers in Washington would most likely agree with, let's examine the options:
A) "I can't use the Panama Canal, even though I'd like to, because the railroads control everything around here."
This statement focuses on the control of railroads and does not directly relate to the Panama Canal, so it is unlikely to be the preferred choice for farmers and manufacturers in Washington.
B) "I like how the Panama Canal has improved shipping, but immigrant workers are driving up costs."
This statement mentions the positive impact of the Panama Canal on shipping but expresses concerns about immigrant workers driving up costs. While this may be a valid concern for some, it does not directly address the interests of farmers and manufacturers in Washington.
C) "I love the Panama Canal! We can get our goods to markets back east so much faster!"
This statement emphasizes the advantages of the Panama Canal for getting goods to markets back east faster. As Washington is located on the West Coast, this statement aligns with the interests of farmers and manufacturers who would benefit from improved transportation efficiency.
D) "I wish they'd shut that canal down. It's hurting our competitiveness on the West Coast."
This statement expresses a negative sentiment towards the Panama Canal and suggests that it is hurting the competitiveness of the West Coast. While this could be a concern for some stakeholders, it does not significantly represent the views of farmers and manufacturers in Washington.
Based on the analysis, the most likely statement that farmers and manufacturers in Washington would agree with is C) "I love the Panama Canal! We can get our goods to markets back east so much faster!"
