Answer 1

Correct answer: In Central America; it connected the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, reducing travel time for ships.

I can't watch videos, but based on historical facts: the Panama Canal cut the long and dangerous voyage around South America (Cape Horn), sped up shipping, lowered costs, and made global trade and naval movement faster and more efficient.
