Well considering Frank/YRN DJ made the first post here can get away with it. c:
so is the correct answer C
To determine the correct answer, we can eliminate options A and B because they do not accurately describe the U.S. National Road. Now let's evaluate options C and D.
Option C states that the U.S. National Road ran from Massachusetts to Ohio and ran parallel to the canal system. This statement is not entirely accurate. While the U.S. National Road did run from Maryland to Illinois, it did not extend as far as Massachusetts. Additionally, while it did intersect with canals along its route, it did not entirely run parallel to the canal system. Therefore, option C is not the best answer.
Option D states that the U.S. National Road ran from Maryland to Illinois and was made using macadam construction. This statement accurately describes the U.S. National Road. It was the first federally funded highway in the United States and was built using macadam construction, which involved compacting layers of crushed stone. Therefore, option D is the best answer.
So, the correct answer is D.) It ran from Maryland to Illinois and was made using macadam construction.
