The Suez and Panama canals are two of the most important canals in the world. They are crucial for the trade and travel through the sea, as they cut the sea routes by thousands of kilometers, which makes it much more easy and cheaper to use them. The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean with the Indian Ocean, thus avoiding to circle around Africa, while the Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and the Pacific, thus avoiding to circle around South America. The one that controls these canals will manage to always get very large wealth because everyone will opt to use them as it much easier, cheaper, safer, and quicker, but in order to use it, everyone needs to pay certain tax. Those taxes are bringing in constant profit from doing pretty much nothing for the countries that control these canals. Also, it brings in a lot of power, as they can block the access of any country to it if they want, thus giving them big power on the global economic scene.

Answer:
The economy runs better without governmental involvement.
Explanation:
In the Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith lays out a very robust theory about how the economy works, this is why many economists consider him to be the Father of the economic science.
Adam Smith's main thesis was that people, acting own their own interest, were guided by the invisible hand, leading to positive results that benefited the whole of society, even if that was not the main goal of economic actors in first place (their main goal being furthering their own interests).
For this reason, Smith thought that most government intervention was unecessary, since according to him, economic actors tended to self regulate in the market, and to produce an optimal result for society. He did justify some government intervention though: in the military, in the judicial system, and in some basic social services in order to care for the poor, the elderly, and the sick.
I believe the correct answer is C. They turned their attention to women's rights.
Having seen how people of color were struggling to get equal rights, the women began to question their own rights and came to the conclusion that they weren't in fact equal to their male counterparts. This is why they started fighting for their own freedoms, and managed to start it all at Seneca Fall Convention in 1848.
A and B are incorrect because it wasn't these two women who started the Union and the Society.
