Answer 1

Answer:

d. the access to natural resources like coal and iron was better than in the south.

Explanation:

Not all people had work experience in New England, so the letter A is wrong. The lakes of New England were important in transporting products and not in water plants, so the letter B is wrong.  The soil was important for agriculture and not for the industrial sector, so the letter c is wrong.

The industrial sector needed a lot of coal and iron to get it working and this was a resource in abundance in New England, so the right answer is the letter D.

Answer 2

I believe it would be D.
