Answer:

B. to shorten sailing time between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans

Explanation:

The Panama Canal is an interoceanic navigation route between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean that crosses the Isthmus of Panama at its narrowest point, whose length is 82 km.

Considered one of the great works of world engineering of the twentieth century, the channel works through locks at each end that raise the boats to Lake Gatun, an artificial lake created to reduce the amount of work required for the excavation of the canal , 26 meters above sea level, then descend to the Pacific or Atlantic level. Before its opening, the natural passages used between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans were the Strait of Magellan and Cape Horn, located at the southern tip of Chile.

How were hispanics in california affected by the gold rush?
lana [24]
<span>Soon after gaining independence from Spain in 1821, Mexico opened its northern coastal region of California to foreign trade. American vessels from the east were soon engaged in lucrative commerce with the Californios, Californians of Spanish or Mexican descent. Offering such necessities as cooking utensils and boots, as well as luxuries such as brandy, the Americans reaped profits of 200 to 300 percent. In exchange, the Californios exported cowhides produced on their vast coastal ranches.</span>

Churchill mentions that his “private ambitions have been satisfied beyond my wildest dreams” what does he mean ?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

He meant that his accomplishment are more than he had expected to accomplish

Explanation:

When Churchill mentions that his “private ambitions have been satisfied beyond my wildest dreams”.

He meant that his ambitions or desires have been accomplished more than he could ever think of or more than he had expected. This means that every position or role he has held is far more than what he expected of himself. Churchill might not have believed that his aims or ambitions in life will be achieved to that level or at that rate of progress.

For instance, Churchill held so many offices in his political career through appointment and election. He was a Member of Parliament from 1924 until 1964, home secretary, first lord of the admiralty, chancellor of the Exchequer, minister of defense, and prime minister from 1940 to 1945 and 1951 to 1955.
