Answer 2

Thanks, I'll take a look!

Answer 3

Well, my AP Human Geography teacher told us that the US uses other people's oil, rather than their own, so they can save it for a later use...is that any help?

Answer 4

Yeah kind of. I knew that much, reg·u·late/ˈregyəˌlāt/
Verb:
Control or maintain the rate or speed of (a machine or process) so that it operates properly.
Control or supervise (something, esp. a company or business activity) by means of rules and regulations.
That's what regulate means so it's asking how the US regulates oil.
