Question

1. what conclusion can you draw to support the information in the map?

a. most of the agricultural exports in north carolina in 2010 were grown and produced in the western part of north carolina.
b. corn and soybeans are the two biggest crops grown in north carolina for export.
c. the eastern half of north carolina produces the greatest amount of agricultural exports.
d. there are more agricultural exports in north carolina than south carolina.

Explanation:

• Option a: The map shows darker (higher export) regions are more in the eastern half, not western, so a is wrong.
• Option b: The map doesn't show crop types, only export values by county, so b is unsupported.
• Option c: The eastern half has more dark - colored (higher export range) counties, indicating greater agricultural exports, so c matches the map.
• Option d: The map is only about North Carolina's counties, not comparing to South Carolina, so d is irrelevant.

Answer:

c. The eastern half of North Carolina produces the greatest amount of agricultural exports.
