Answer:
a. short grasses and cacti
Explanation:
The semi-arid and arid areas in the western part of the United States are harsh environments, and only specialized plants for these conditions can survive. The climate is hot and dry, the precipitation very low, and the soil is poor. The plants that survive in these places have adapted well to survive with very little water, to manage to extract water from the air, to preserve it, and being able to sustain very high temperatures. The short grasses are the dominant plants int he semi arid regions. They do not require rich soil, nor lot of water, so they manage to survive on the bear minimum that is available. The trademark plants of the arid areas are the cacti. The cacti are able to store large amounts of water in them, have very long roots, are able to extract water from the air through their needles, and also have skin that doesn't allow any water to come out of it.

Answer:
The correct answer is C. This maps represents the triangle trade.
Explanation:
The triangular trade was a slave trade in which manufactured goods such as alcohol, metal containers, clothing and firearms were transported from Great Britain (especially Liverpool). Cargo transported in Africa was exchanged for slaves transported to America or the West Indies. The slaves were replaced with sugar, cotton, rum and tobacco. For the shipowner, the deal was risky but very profitable. Each stage was profitable and the cost of the ship could be recovered in just a few trips. The triangle trade was practiced on a full scale since the 17th century and reached its peak in the late 18th century.
