1. a map which shows the human - created boundaries of the canadian provinces or the counties of connecticut would be classified as a __________ map.

a topographic
b choropleth
c cartogram
d isoline

Explanation:

1. A choropleth map uses colors, shades, or patterns to show the distribution of a variable (like the percentage of English - speaking people) across predefined areas. Cartograms distort areas based on a variable. Dot - distribution maps use dots to represent the density of a phenomenon. Political maps show human - created boundaries. Topographic maps show physical features like elevation. So, for showing the percentage of people speaking English, a choropleth map is appropriate.
2. A map showing human - created boundaries of Canadian provinces or Connecticut counties is a political map. Topographic maps focus on physical features, choropleth maps on variable distribution, cartograms on area distortion based on a variable, and isoline maps on lines of equal value.

Answer:

1. B. Choropleth
2. D. Political
