Which of the following was an effect of the Land Ordinance of 1785?

The Land Ordinance of 1785 divided public land in the Northwest Territory into townships and sections that could be surveyed and sold. Selling these lands brought revenue to the national government, so B, “It brought money to the nation through the sale of public lands,” is correct. The ordinance also reserved a section in each township to support public schools, rather than limiting education.
