Answer 1

The means of transportation and communication are called the lifelines of a nation and its economy because they are the preconditions for progress and development. Goods and services cannot move on their own from supply houses to demand locales. This necessitates the need for transportation. 

Answer 2

Lifelines of a human being are his veins. They carry blood in all the parts the body and keep them hale and hearty.

Likewise means of transport and comunication bring all the regions of a country closer and develop them equally.

The means of transportation and communication are called the lifelines of a nation and its economy because they are the preconditions for progress and development.

A country 's economy depends not only on the production and sale of goods and services, but on their transport as well

A country makes tremendous progress because of its developed means of transport and communication. Without these all the developmental activities will come to an end and the country would meet its doom.
