Apologies for the incorrect response. The correct statement to explain why the river and springs were important to the settlement is: "The river offered a good travel route for explorers and goods." The river provided a means of transportation for explorers and facilitated trade by allowing goods to be transported more easily. The springs could have also provided a water source for the settlement, making it easier for people to settle and sustain themselves in the area.
