Answer:

The correct answer is E. The body of water that lies between Australia and Papua New Guinea is the Torres Strait.

Explanation:

Torres Strait is a strait between the Cape York Peninsula in the Australian state of Queensland and Papua New Guinea. The strait is about 150 km wide and connects the Coral Sea in the east with the Arafura Sea in the west.

The Torres Strait was discovered in 1606 by Spaniard Luis Vaez de Torres, who followed the south coast of New Guinea from east to west. It would, however, take until James Cook in 1770 until another person sailed it down.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Westward expansion meant that the US acquired ever increasing amounts of land, and needed people, farmers, to settle there so it could maintained without a huge military presence.  This led to massive immigration in the second half of the 19th century, as mostly Europeans came here seeking to finally have their own land.

It also added vast resources to the United States, both in terms of potential agricultural production and things like gold, silver and timber.

It stimulated the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, and added new states to the country.

It further aggravated the divide between north and south, and accelerated the onset of the Civil War.
