Answer:
Option C: Location and Transportation are the major factors for the growth of American cities.
Explanation:
Natural resources have always helped America in its growth. Because of the awesome location besides Hudson river, transportation became quite easy. This was the main reason for building the canal over it. It, thereby helped in trade and led to a good growth of cities. People could move in from rural areas and settle here and help in the growth of cities.
Hence, Option C is most appropriate. It is not because of land or hierarchies. It was also not because of the climate and safety that Americas cities grew, as per other options, A, B and D.
It causes a little confusion to have that "Blank Space" right after the the main verb "expect" because we cannot be sure that it represents that a blank or a space is that follows, or that Blank Space is used as a noun.
To answer this question I will assume that blank space represents that a line goes there to be filled.
By doing so, the correct sentence would be:
Joel and Lucy expect _their_ Halloween party to be really scary!
So the final answer is:
Their
The possessive third person plural pronoun is the best option.
Answer:
The imagery Bradbury uses in the line suggests:
The rain destroys the forests but they grow back.
Explanation:
The line we are supposed to analyze is:
<em>A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again.</em>
The first option states the forests are overgrown, but the line makes it clear that the rain keeps on crushing, destroying the forests. Therefore, we can eliminate it.
The second option states the planet is covered with forests. However, for the same reason mentioned above, this is incorrect. The rain does not allow the forests to persist.
The fourth option states that the rain falls nonstop. This information is correct, but it is not the focus of the imagery in the specific line we are analyzing here. The focus is the forests, not the rain.
Thus, the third option is the best one. The forests do grow back. They are crushed again, that's for sure, but somehow they still manage to grow back.
