The correct answer choice would be the third one: "Homer writes that Odysseus and his men 'were left to groan and wait for morning' (218)." In MLA, the period needs to be outside of the parentheses, not inside the parentheses or the quotation. So that leaves us between choices 2 and 3. Well, it isn't the second one because the way they cited it (Homer: 218) isn't correct, they should have written it as (Homer, 218). Therefore, the third one seems to be the most correct. Hope this helped some :)
Answer:
The Niger River will be heavily exploited in the future so that it helps the economies in people in the region.
Explanation:
Most of the big rivers around the world are heavily exploited. They have huge dams built on them for multiple purposes, canals that connect places that don't come out on the rivers, transportation, and travel are well organized and on a high scale. The Niger River though is not that exploited despite having huge potential, but that will change in the near future for sure.
This river goes a long way in the interior of Western Africa and the outskirts of Central Africa. It can support boats, and it is the major factor that supports agriculture. Considering that this part of the world is in a dire situation but develops quickly, the Niger River will be used for sure. Huge dams will be made, and the water will be used for the production of electric power to feed the economies, but also for irrigation as the region is mostly semi-arid, for drinking, and for the industry. In order to boost the economy and help in the development of the large urban areas, canals will be made to the ones that are not located at the river's banks. Transportation through the river's waters will skyrocket as it will be fast, safe, and cheap.

A biggie: the transcontinental railroad. Because it would economically improve wherever it was, both the North and the South competed for the railroad to be in their respective territory, evidenced by the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Gadsen Purchase and induction of California as a free state in 1860.
In addition: people could get land cheap because it was abundant and might leave to start afresh economically.
There's other stuff I can't remember as clearly, but there's a little and I hope it helps :)
