Question

1. the relationship between georgia’s deep-water ports and its interstate highway system is best described as:

a. competing systems where the ports mainly handle domestic goods and the highways handle international goods.
b. a cooperative system where the highways transport goods unloaded at the ports to inland distribution centers.
c. two separate systems that rarely interact with one another.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the relationship between Georgia’s deep - water ports and interstate highway system:

• Option A is incorrect. Deep - water ports mainly handle international goods (importing/exporting), while highways handle domestic transportation of goods. So the description of which system handles which type of goods is reversed.
• Option B is correct. The ports unload international goods, and the interstate highway system then transports these goods to inland distribution centers. This shows a cooperative relationship between the two systems.
• Option C is incorrect. The ports and highways are closely related as the highways are used to transport goods from the ports, so they are not separate systems that rarely interact.

Answer:

B. A cooperative system where the highways transport goods unloaded at the ports to inland distribution centers.
