Explanation:

For Question 3:

The core purpose of the Panama Canal was to create a shorter maritime route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, eliminating the long, dangerous trip around Cape Horn (South America). This drastically reduced shipping time and costs for global trade.

For Question 4:

The Roosevelt Corollary (an extension of the Monroe Doctrine) reinforced the U.S. position as the dominant power in the Western Hemisphere. It blocked European intervention in Latin American affairs while claiming the U.S.'s right to intervene in Latin American nations to address financial or political instability.

Answer:

Question 3: It would make shipping products from the Atlantic to the Pacific easier and quicker than traveling around South America.
Question 4: It not only extended the prevention of European intervention in Latin America but also gave the U.S. authority to intervene until situations were stabilized.
