The correct answer is C. New towns sprang up in places that were not near rivers or canals because they did it along newly laid railroad tracks. Railroads could be built almost anywhere, and they constituted a fast commercial connection with other cities, so the water flows were not necessary anymore.

The railroad began to extend from the East Coast towards the center of the country, crossing later the Mississippi, penetrating arid zones without great amount of rivers. But the railroad functioned as a connection between these zones and the big cities of the East Coast, so the settlers could project their own settlements based on the commercial and social advantages that the railroad granted them.

What do you speculate are the purposes of the South American Nasca drawings and the Serpent Mounds of North America?
Zarrin [17]

The correct answers to this open question are the following.

My speculation about the purposes of the South American Nasca drawings and the Serpent Mounds of North America are the following.

The Nazca drawings are located in a desertic area in Peru. They are a series of lines and animal figures that only can be devised by air. These long lines look like landing tracks such as the ones that are built in airports. So one of the theories that Nazca was a landing place for ET's starships. The animal figures meaning are still a mystery.

On the other hand, the Great Serpent Mound is located in southwest Ohio, United States. It is a long mound with the form of a large serpent. People give it mystical meanings due to the fact that the head of the mount or"serpent" aligns with the sunset in the summer solstice. Archeologists debate about the meaning of the mount: some say it was a kind of celestial compass. Others think there were totems over the mound.
