<span>It reduced coast-to-coast communication from about 180 days to about a week.
This question is mildly ambiguous due to the word "communication". Does it mean "Speed of sending a message?" or "Speed of moving a physical object?" Given the available options as answers, I will assume the meaning is "Speed of moving a physical object?" With that in mind, let's look at the available options and see what makes sense.
It made coast-to-coast communication instantaneous.
* Even modern jets can't travel from coast to coast instantaneously, so you wouldn't expect a train to do so either. So this choice is just plain silly and therefore wrong.
It reduced coast-to-coast communication from about a week to about a day.
* A stagecoach had an average speed of about 5 mph and covered 60 to 70 miles per day. So it's not going to go from coast to coast in only a week. And since that part of the answer is wrong, this choice is wrong.
It reduced coast-to-coast communication from about 180 days to about a week.
* The 180 day estimate is definitely doable. That's an average speed of about 17 miles per day which is a good speed for a person walking day to day. And that would be about 400 miles per day for the train. The numbers make sense and this is the correct answer.
It made coast-to-coast communication more complicated.
* Let's see. Buy a train ticket and possibly arrange for 6 layovers. Or plan a multiple month trip and possibly coordinate that effort without having any rapid means of communications? This option is just plain silly when you consider the logistics of traveling for several months vs traveling for a mere week. So this is a bad choice.</span>

US Industrialization was facilitated by a unique confluence of geographic, social and economic factors. The post-American Revolution remained low relative to its European counterparts and the demand for labor created strong incentives to mechanize labor-intensive tasks. The East Coast of the United States, with a large number of rivers and streams along the Atlantic coast, including many potential sites for the construction of mills and the necessary infrastructure for scientific industrialization and early technology. A wide range of natural and social resources, together with a large supply of work made up of surpluses of rural domestic workers and the massive immigration of European countries allowed for industrialization. The supply of labor was an advantage of American industrialism than of European. After the closure of the American Revolution in 1783, the new government always gives solid property rights and a non-rigid class structure. The idea of issuing patents was brought to North America by the English, French, and Dutch settlers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and adopted in Article I, section 8 of the Constitution of the United States authorizes the Congress "for promote the advancement of science and useful arts, ensuring for a limited time the authors and inventors the exclusive right over their respective writings and discoveries.These changes, together with the new techniques and requirements demanded by changing social norms, led to the introduction of new manufacturing techniques in colonial America that preceded the industrial and modern revolution.
