To get the answer to the first question, you need some basic knowledge about dams and their purposes. Dams are typically built to serve various purposes, such as providing water for irrigation and human consumption, generating electricity, flood control, and recreation. In the case of the Colorado River, dams were most likely constructed to address one or more of these purposes. You can find information about the specific reasons dams were constructed on the Colorado River by referring to relevant literature or conducting an internet search.
For the second question, you need to understand what contour plowing is and how it differs from other farming methods mentioned as options. Contour plowing is a method of farming where plowing is done along the contours of the land, i.e., in curved paths that follow the natural shape of the hills and slopes on the field. This technique helps to prevent soil erosion and retain water, making it a more sustainable farming practice. To select the correct answer, you need to consider which option describes the technique of plowing around hills instead of straight up and down. In this case, answer option (a) is correct.
To answer the third question, you need to be familiar with the concept of borrowing money from the government to install electrical services. This is commonly done by organized groups that collectively borrow funds from the government to establish or improve electrical infrastructure in their community. To identify the correct term for such groups, you need to understand the definitions of the options provided. Among the options, answer option (c) - agencies - doesn't accurately describe the organized groups in question. The correct answer is answer option (b) - cooperatives, as cooperatives are commonly formed for the purpose of collectively borrowing money for mutual benefit in various sectors, including energy services.
