Question

The boll weevil infestation came to Georgia in 1915, and a severe drought hit the state in 1924. According to the graphs, what impact did these events have on agriculture in Georgia?
Question 16 options:


Demand for cotton increased, and fewer fabrics were made from cotton.


Farmers grew less cotton overall, and some gave up farming altogether.


Cotton became easier to grow and harvest, reducing labor cost.


The price of cotton rose, and growing cotton became more profitable.

Answer 1

The correct answer choice based on the graphs is B.) Farmers grew less cotton overall, and some gave up farming altogether. Each of the other answer choices would likely cause increases, not decreases in the pictured graphs. Hope this helped!
