Explanation:

Question 16

The Market Revolution (early 19th - century US) brought improvements in transportation (e.g., canals, railroads) and communication. This led to lower shipping costs, faster travel, more regional connection, and growth in trade and westward expansion. The other options (higher costs, slower travel, less connection) are opposite to the actual effects.

Steam - powered locomotives began hauling goods and passengers around 1825. 1776 is the US Declaration of Independence, 1794 is too early for widespread locomotive use, and 1860 is later than the initial adoption.

Steam - powered locomotives improved transportation: they made it faster and reduced shipping costs (due to efficiency). The other options are incorrect: they didn't slow transport, increase shipping costs, or replace factories.

Answer:

D. Increased trade and westward settlement
