The Great Lakes, rivers, and canals that make up the U.S. inland waterway system provide a productive and economical means of transporting heavy loads over great distances. Compared to other modes of transportation like trucks or rail, shipping businesses can deliver products more affordably by using barges. This encourages both domestic and foreign trade, eases traffic on the roadways, and supports several enterprises. The U.S. economy depends heavily on its waterways, which sustain the energy, agricultural, and manufacturing industries.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"Recreation"},{"right":"yes","answer":"Transportation of goods"},{"right":"no","answer":"Military operations"},{"right":"no","answer":"Agricultural purposes"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1750,"title":"Importance of waterways for transport and industry in the United States of America","slug":"importance-of-waterways-for-transport-and-industry-in-the-united-states-of-america"},{"id":1747,"title":"The Rivers and Waterways of the United States","slug":"the-rivers-and-waterways-of-the-united-states"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/10729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=10729"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=10729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
