Answer:
Raw materials arrived in bigger towns with great frequency, which meant that these towns and cities could grow and develop faster.
Explanation:
The given question is about the text <em>California and Mesopotamia: Similarities and Differences.</em>
The options you were given are the following:
- Raw materials arrived in bigger towns with great frequency, which meant that these towns and cities could grow and develop faster.
- Overland transportation at that time was painfully slow and clunky, via simple wheeled pushcarts, or pack animals such as donkeys and camels.
- The canals provided a built-in transportation system for the Sumerian and Akkadian peoples who first settled the place.
- These rivers had many different branches, tributaries, feeding into them, creating a vast network of streams and canals.
The correct option is the first one as it directly states that water transportation helped towns and cities develop faster, making it crucial for the economical development of Mesopotamia. The rest of the options do not.
The second states why overland transportation wasn't the best, why it made things harder. There is nothing about water transportation.
The third simply states that the canals provided the Sumerian and Akkadian peoples with a transportation system. It doesn't say why that's good, unlike the first one.
The fourth would be the worst option as it doesn't include any information about transportation systems.
In chapter 11, Mrs. Tibbits and Ben just get back from toad watching because it was raining. Mrs. Tibbits tells Ben the reason why her sister-in-law wants to sell the house. Developers want to purchase the property to build on it. Ben realizes this is not good because the Spadefoot toads are endangered and if developers indeed purchase the property and build there, the spadefoot toads will no longer be able to lay their eggs and will probably become extinct. Ben is trying to hatch a plan to help Mrs. Tibbits in this situation.
