The correct answer is A. Boats could move more quickly from New York City to Boston.

To determine the benefits of the Erie Canal, we need to understand what it was and its purpose. The Erie Canal was a canal system in New York that connected the Hudson River with Lake Erie, providing a water route from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes.

Now, to determine the benefit, we can analyze each option:

A. Boats could move more quickly from New York City to Boston. This option addresses the primary purpose of the Erie Canal, which was to provide a faster transportation route from the east coast (New York City) to the northeastern region (Boston). By utilizing the canal, boats could bypass the longer and more treacherous journey around Cape Cod, resulting in a significant reduction in travel time.

B. Boats could move more quickly from New York City to Washington. While the Erie Canal did provide a faster transportation route, it did not connect New York City to Washington. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

C. Boats could move more quickly from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. This option correctly describes the purpose of the Erie Canal, connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. However, it does not mention the specific destination of New York City to Boston, so it is not the best answer.

D. Boats could move more quickly from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. The Erie Canal did not connect the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River, so this option does not accurately describe the benefits of the canal.

In conclusion, the best answer is A. Boats could move more quickly from New York City to Boston.
