  2. West to Northeast
  3. Southeast to West
  4. Southeast to Midwest
Explanation
Answer - B - The Erie Canal connected the West to the Northeast.

Key Takeaway: The Erie Canal was built in 1817-1825 and stretched from Albany to Buffalo, therefore connecting New York City (and thereby, the world) to the Midwest via the Great Lakes. By 1837, the canal system consisted of more than three thousand miles of canals, bringing people, jobs, and goods to small towns along the canal system.
