To check your answers for questions 3, 4, and 9, let's analyze the options:
3. All of the following features are shared by the populations of the US and Canada except:
a. a high per capita income
b. cultural diversity
c. a predominantly rural lifestyle
d. a long life expectancy
The correct answer is indeed option (c) - a predominantly rural lifestyle. The populations of both the US and Canada are known for being diverse and having high per capita income and long life expectancy. However, rural lifestyle is not necessarily a shared feature. Many areas in both countries have urbanized populations and are not predominantly rural.
4. The majority of the people in the US and Canada live:
a. on the coastal plains
b. in or near industrial centers
c. in the Great Plains region
d. in or near regions with rich mineral deposits
The correct answer is option (b) - in or near industrial centers. Both the US and Canada have significant urban populations located in or near industrial centers, where economic activities and job opportunities are concentrated. While some people do live on the coastal plains or in regions with rich mineral deposits, the majority of the population is centered around industrial centers.
11. The Midwest is called "the nation's breadbasket" because:
a. millions of loaves of bread are produced there every day
b. it is the crossroads of the US
c. it is the nation's largest producer region of grain, dairy products, and hogs
d. most of the nation's fruit and vegetables are grown there
Based on the additional information you provided from your book, the most appropriate answer would be option (c) - it is the nation's largest producer region of grain, dairy products, and hogs. The nickname "the nation's breadbasket" signifies that the Midwest region is a significant source of food production, particularly grains, dairy products, and hogs, which contribute to the nation's food supply. While the other options may have some relevance to the Midwest, option (c) best aligns with the given nickname.
9. The construction of the Erie Canal was important because it:
a. linked the Hudson River in New York and the Great Lakes in the Midwest, greatly increasing the trade between the two regions
b. helped eastern cities such as Boston and Philadelphia become important port cities
c. allowed eastern crops to be transported faster and more efficiently to cities in the South and West
d. provided the best access to the Pacific Ocean
The correct answer is indeed option (a) - linked the Hudson River in New York and the Great Lakes in the Midwest, greatly increasing the trade between the two regions. The construction of the Erie Canal opened up important trade routes between the East Coast and the emerging Midwest, facilitating the movement of goods and resources. It brought economic benefits and improved transportation, connecting major waterways and enabling efficient trade between regions. Option (c) could also be considered partially correct because it aligns with the primary purpose of the Erie Canal, which was to transport crops from eastern regions to other parts of the country. However, option (a) is a more specific and accurate answer.
Overall, your answers are correct, with the discussion above providing more insights into the explanations behind each correct answer.
