1 Cattle ranchers are generally found in northern Mexico because.
A There are many cities where beef can be sold.
B There is a lot of open space for grazing.
C Cattle thrive in rain forest.
D There are many sources of water.
2 For what reason did Hernan Cortes most likely build Mexico city over top of Tenochtitlan.
A He liked the location.
B he wanted to prevent the Aztecs from farming.
C He wanted to demonstrate Spanish superiority.
D He did not want to spend time looking for another site.
For 1 I think A and for 2 I think C. Thank you.
I agree.
number 1 was wrong but thank you anyway
This is another judgement/opinion question. Certainly have close markets both in the U.S. and Mexico is a strong factor in deciding to raise cattle here.
1. Cattle ranchers are generally found in northern Mexico because B There is a lot of open space for grazing.
To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the main factors that contribute to the location of cattle ranching. Cattle require ample grazing areas to feed and grow. Northern Mexico, characterized by vast plains and open spaces, provides ideal conditions for cattle to graze. The other options are not as relevant. While the presence of cities (option A) may be beneficial for selling beef, it is not the main reason why cattle ranchers are found in northern Mexico. Cattle do not thrive in rainforests (option C) as rainforests have dense vegetation and do not provide the open spaces required for grazing. While water sources (option D) are necessary for cattle ranching, they are not exclusive to northern Mexico and can be found in other regions as well.
2. For what reason did Hernan Cortes most likely build Mexico City atop of Tenochtitlan?
To get the answer, we need to consider the historical context and motivations of Hernan Cortes. Hernan Cortes was a Spanish conquistador who defeated the Aztec empire, led by the city of Tenochtitlan, in 1521. After the conquest, Cortes wanted to establish Spanish dominance and control over the region. The most plausible reason why he chose to build Mexico City on the ruins of Tenochtitlan is option C, He wanted to demonstrate Spanish superiority. By constructing a new city on top of the Aztec capital, Cortes aimed to showcase the supremacy and permanence of Spanish rule. Option D, He did not want to spend time looking for another site, is less likely because the strategic location of Tenochtitlan, situated on an island in a lake, made it an ideal location for building a new city. The other options, A and B, are not stated reasons for Cortes' decision.
