Question

1. caleb has a variety of information for his speech on the effect of drought on his region’s crops. what source material would need to be most current?

statistics on average rainfall and crop yield
information on how ancient egyptians dealt with drought
testimonial from a farming family who lived through the state’s most epic drought years
the meteorological definition of drought

Explanation:

To determine the most current source, we analyze each option:

• "Information on how ancient Egyptians dealt with drought" is historical and not current.
• "The meteorological definition of drought" is a static definition, not time - sensitive for current crop effects.
• "Testimonial from a farming family who lived through the state’s most epic drought years" is about past droughts, not current.
• "Statistics on average rainfall and crop yield" needs to be current because rainfall and crop yield data change over time, and current data is essential to accurately show the effect of drought on the region’s crops now.

Answer:

A. statistics on average rainfall and crop yield
