The correct statement that contrasts the Lancaster Turnpike with the National Road is: D. The Lancaster Turnpike was limited to travel in one state.
The Lancaster Turnpike was primarily located in Pennsylvania, while the National Road extended across multiple states, facilitating travel and commerce across a greater distance. Here's a brief context for each option:
A. The Lancaster Turnpike was a longer road. - This is incorrect; the National Road is longer than the Lancaster Turnpike.
B. The National Road required users to pay a toll to use it. - This is misleading; while parts of the National Road may have had tolls, it was not universally toll-based like the Lancaster Turnpike.
C. The National Road was a "corduroy road." - This is incorrect; corduroy roads were made of logs laid side-by-side, whereas the National Road was engineered differently.
D. The Lancaster Turnpike was limited to travel in one state. - This is accurate as the Lancaster Turnpike was primarily in Pennsylvania.
