Correct choices:
- Cavour favored rapid industrial growth in Italy.
- Cavour led the expansion of Sardinia’s influence.

Brief explanation: As Piedmont–Sardinia’s prime minister, Cavour promoted economic modernization and industrialization and used diplomacy and war to extend Sardinia’s power as the driving force of Italian unification. He did not become king and worked to reduce, not increase, the church’s political power; he also opposed Austrian domination, not supported it.
