10. The correct answer is b. they are still important trade routes today.
11. The correct answer is c. France.
For question 10, the correct answer is D. It states that all of the statements are true except one, which means that one of the statements is false. To determine which statement is false, we can evaluate each statement individually:
a. they aided the growth of industry in the Midwest: This statement is true. The Great Lakes and Mississippi River system provided transportation routes for goods and resources, which helped the growth of industry in the Midwest.
b. they are still important trade routes today: This statement is true. The Great Lakes and Mississippi River system continue to serve as vital trade routes, supporting commerce and transportation.
c. cities connected by this transportation network are home to heavy manufacturing: This statement is true. The presence of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River system has influenced the development of cities in the region, which have become centers of heavy manufacturing.
d. they have helped the region become the nation's center of business and finance: This statement is false. While the Great Lakes and Mississippi River system have been important for industry and trade, the nation's center of business and finance is typically associated with major cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, which are not directly located on the Great Lakes or Mississippi River.
Therefore, the correct answer is D.
For question 11, the correct answer is C. Quebec has its strongest ties to the customs and culture of France. Quebec is a predominantly French-speaking province in Canada and has a rich French heritage. French is the official language, and the province's culture, including its art, music, cuisine, and architecture, have strong French influences. They also have their own distinct identity within Canada while maintaining strong connections to France.
So, the correct answer is C.
