The main topic of conversation in the South was D. Slavery. Slavery was a significant issue in the South, as it played a central role in the region's economy and social structure.
To get the answer to the second question, let's analyze the provided information. The passage states that many southerners were unwilling to sell slaves to raise funds for factories, resulting in a lack of money to invest in business. Another name for this type of money is needed. Based on this information, the correct answer is C. capital. Capital refers to funds or money available for investment.
For the third question, the passage suggests that a shortage of something had devastating consequences for the South during the Civil War. Evaluating the options, the most likely answer is B. railroads. Railroads played a critical role in transportation and logistics during the war, and a shortage of railroads would indeed have severe consequences for the South.
To answer the fourth question, we can infer from the options that demand for cotton helped the economy of the South in some way. Based on this information and the context of the passage, the correct answer is B. the South focused on expanding the production of cotton as a raw material. The South heavily relied on the cultivation and export of cotton, which boosted its economy.
To answer the last question, we need to find the option that does NOT provide a reason for less industrial development in the South compared to the North. Evaluating each option, the most appropriate answer is D. because the market for manufactured goods in the South was smaller than in the North. The passage discusses various factors that hindered industrial development in the South, such as difficult terrain for railroad development (A), a lack of capital (B), and a profitable agricultural industry reducing the incentive for industrial growth (C). However, it does not mention the market size as a specific reason.
I think the answers are
