How were merchant ships protected in World War 1?
Your teacher is probably referring to the "Convoy System" that was developed by the British Royal Navy & used by the Allies. It meant that merchant ships with the same cruising speeds traveled together in a group or "convoy".

Ships that were very slow, or fast would not travel in a convoy.

The loss of many ships in the Atlantic convinced the us navy to set up a system?
The extreme shipping losses due to German U-boats in the Battle of the Atlantic led to the U.S. Navy instituting the Escorted Convoy System. This system, along with further advances in long-range bombing and the capability to launch & recover recon seaplanes from convoy ships is what ultimately spelled the end of the successes the U-boats enjoyed early in the war. The British set up a similar system for escorted convoys.
