what is the question know one said
thanks guys your the best
To check your answers, let's go through each question step by step:
1. How did trade in New Mexico change with the opening of the Santa Fe Trail and the arrival of the First Transcontinental Railroad?
To answer this question, we need to consider the impact of improved transportation on trade in New Mexico. One way to approach this is to think about how easier access and connectivity could affect the flow of goods.
The Santa Fe Trail, which opened in 1821, provided a direct trade route from Missouri to Santa Fe, allowing for increased trade between the United States and New Mexico. Similarly, the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 further improved transportation and trade links.
Now, based on this information, let's analyze the options provided:
A. The amount of goods that were bought and sold in the state remained the same
This statement suggests that trade remained unchanged, which is unlikely given the improved transportation opportunities brought by the Santa Fe Trail and the Transcontinental Railroad. So, this option is unlikely to be the correct answer.
B. The amount of goods that were sold in the state increased slightly
This option acknowledges the potential increase in the amount of goods sold in the state due to better trade routes. However, the word "slightly" may not adequately account for the substantial impact of the improved transportation. Therefore, this option is also less likely to be the best answer.
C. The amount of goods that were bought and sold in the state increased significantly***
This option acknowledges the positive effects of both the Santa Fe Trail and the Transcontinental Railroad on trade in New Mexico. With easier access to markets and improved connectivity, it is highly plausible that the amount of goods bought and sold would increase significantly. Therefore, this option appears to be the best answer.
D. The amount of goods that were bought in the state increased slightly
This statement only considers the increase in goods bought, rather than the overall impact on trade. As such, it does not fully capture the potential changes brought by improved transportation. Therefore, this option is unlikely to be the correct answer.
Based on the analysis above, it seems that option C, "The amount of goods that were bought and sold in the state increased significantly," is the best answer for the first question.
Now let's move on to the second question:
2. What was one of the main results of improved transportation in the New Mexico region during the 1800s?
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the broader implications of better transportation in the region during the time period mentioned.
A. Fewer settlers
This option suggests that improved transportation led to fewer settlers in New Mexico. However, it is more likely that better transportation would attract more settlers, as it would make it easier for people to access the region. Therefore, this option is unlikely to be the correct answer.
B. Fewer people living near rivers
This option does not directly relate to improved transportation and does not appear to be an inherent consequence of it. Therefore, this option is unlikely to be the best answer.
C. Fewer large factories***
This option implies that improved transportation resulted in fewer large factories. However, without additional context, it is difficult to determine a direct causal relationship. Therefore, this option is less likely to be the correct answer.
D. More settlers
This option acknowledges the potential increase in settlers that can be facilitated by improved transportation. It suggests that better transportation would attract more people to the New Mexico region, which is a plausible outcome. Therefore, this option appears to be the best answer.
Based on the analysis above, it seems that option D, "More settlers," is the most likely correct answer for the second question.
Finally, let's examine the third question:
3. Which of the following institutions is most likely to benefit from state land grant trusts today?
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the concept of state land grant trusts and consider which institution would likely benefit from them.
A state land grant trust typically refers to a trust established to manage and generate revenue from land granted to a state for a specific purpose, such as funding public education. With this in mind, let's evaluate the options provided:
A. An office supply business near Las Cruces***
This option does not align with the purpose of state land grant trusts, which typically focus on supporting public institutions rather than private businesses. Therefore, this option is unlikely to be the correct answer.
B. A private laboratory in Albuquerque
Similarly to the previous option, this choice involves a private entity rather than a public institution that would typically benefit from state land grant trusts. Therefore, this option is unlikely to be the best answer.
C. An art gallery in a colonial building in Rio Rancho
This option, like the previous two, involves a private business rather than a public institution that would typically benefit from state land grant trusts. Thus, this option is also unlikely to be the correct answer.
D. An elementary school in Farmington
This option aligns with the purpose of state land grant trusts, as it involves a public education institution that would likely receive support from these trusts. Therefore, this option appears to be the best answer.
Based on the analysis above, it seems that option D, "An elementary school in Farmington," is the most likely correct answer for the third question.
Please note that while I have provided explanations for each answer choice, the final determination of correctness is based on the information available to me and may require further verification.
