Question

look at the graph.
us population distribution
1790-1920
based on the graph, in what year was the urban population of the united
states roughly equal to the rural population?
around 1885
around 1825
around 1795
around 1915

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph

The graph shows the percentage of US population (urban in blue, rural in red) from 1790 - 1920. We need to find when the two lines intersect (equal percentages).

Step2: Identify intersection year

Looking at the x - axis (years) and the intersection of the two lines, the intersection occurs around 1915 (checking the position of the intersection relative to the year labels on the x - axis). The other options (1885, 1825, 1795) are too early as the lines don't intersect there.

Answer:

around 1915
