  16. No. I've given you hints twice about this answer. 13. Correct 14. Please go back and check your book and maps. The Andes Mountains are in South America!! 19. Where did you get that answer?? Did you really read your text? Did you read the question?

  Are there any links that can help me? ...especially with #16 I was pretty positive about the last one. My book tells me that it's correct too... because it definitely can't be A or D -MC

  16. http://www.worldbook.com/wb/Students?content_spotlight/climates/south_american_climate 14. http://www.trails.com/facts_3884_facts-landforms-mexico.html 19. If your book says that industrial developments have destroyed the middle class, you'd better find a more accurate textbook. Why can't it be C or D??

  I'm sorry -- MC. I misread the question. :-( Of course, the one answer that is not true is B. Duhh!! I guess I'd better tune up my brain and read more carefully!
