To determine the correct answer to these questions, let's break them down one at a time:
Question 1:
The fate of the Owens Valley resulted in all of the following except:
a. the Owens River and Lake dried up.
b. farmers no longer had adequate water for irrigation
c. fire destroyed much of the towns of Lone Pine and Bishop
d. within a few years Los Angeles was still in need of more water.
To find the correct answer, we need to examine each option and determine whether it is a result of the fate of the Owens Valley.
a. The Owens River and Lake dried up: This is a result of the fate of the Owens Valley, as the water was diverted by Los Angeles.
b. Farmers no longer had adequate water for irrigation: This is a result of the fate of the Owens Valley, as the water was diverted for urban use.
c. Fire destroyed much of the towns of Lone Pine and Bishop: This is also a result of the fate of the Owens Valley, as fire conditions worsened due to the dried-up vegetation.
d. Within a few years Los Angeles was still in need of more water: This is not a result of the fate of the Owens Valley, as Los Angeles was able to meet its water needs through the diversion.
