I just need some ideas for 4 questions. It sounds silly but I need inspiration.

4. Why would the canal developers have studied the British canal system before they designed the Erie Canal? Write four questions the developers might have asked during their studies.

Again I only need the idea for the questions; help me ASAP.
Do you know the problems involved in constructing a canal? What might some of the problems be?
Aha! I was only thinking small thoughts. Thanks for helping me think outta the box!
:D
I'll post my finished questions. Just to see if they're fine and dandy.
1. Will land in the area be good for water?
2. What can happen to animal populations around us?
3. Is the depth and width good enough for normal boats to pass through?
4. How can we keep a good pay to the workers if the government doesn't fund us?

Does this work Ms. Sue?
Yes. Looks good!
Sure, I can help you come up with some ideas for questions the canal developers might have asked during their studies on the British canal system. Here are four examples:
1. How did the British canal system effectively transport goods and materials across different regions?
To find the answer to this question, the developers would analyze the infrastructure, design, and operational aspects of the British canal system, examining how it facilitated efficient transportation.
2. What were the key factors contributing to the success of the British canal system that we can apply to the design of the Erie Canal?
This question would prompt the developers to identify the specific elements, such as lock systems or strategic route planning, that played a crucial role in the effectiveness of the British canal system and how they can be incorporated into their own design.
3. Were there any major challenges or shortcomings faced by the British canal developers that we should be aware of when designing the Erie Canal?
By seeking answers to this question, the developers would aim to learn from the mistakes or limitations experienced by the British canal system, in order to avoid repeating them and potentially improve upon those aspects.
4. How did the British canal system impact local economies and spur regional development?
This question would require the developers to examine the economic and social impact of the British canal system on the regions it served, understanding the benefits it brought to industries, trade, and overall growth. The findings could potentially shape the goals and design objectives of the Erie Canal.
Remember, these are just examples to get you started. You can modify them or come up with entirely new questions based on your research and the specific goals of the developers designing the Erie Canal.
