False. Contour lines indicate different levels of elevation. One line might indicate an elevation of 100 feet, and the line next to it an elevation of 200 feet, and so on. When those lines are close together it means that the elevation is rising very quickly from 100 feet to 200 feet, which means a steeper slope. When those lines are farther apart, it means that there's a lot more space between the 100-foot elevation and the 200-foot elevation, which means a more gentle slope.

The correct answers are: II and IV.

''Single-family farms are making higher profits'' and ''mechanized farms require a larger labor force than traditional farms'' are the two statements that are not true about the modern day agriculture.

Single-family farms are not making higher profits, thy are in fact making much less profit, and especially in the developed countries this type of farms are systematically brought to minimum and are on the verge to stop existing.

Mechanized farms do not require larger labor force, totally opposite, they require much less labor force. The whole point of the mechanization is to lower the requirements for labor force and increase the speed and efficiency of the work, so this made it possible that much fewer people to be able to do much more work with the help of the mechanization.
