Answer 7

Answer 8

*buzzing sound* Wrong :|

most of the answers are talking about COUNTRIES, not states.

Answer 9

oh wait D

Answer 10

It's D

Answer 11

I thought the capital of a country

Answer 12

I'm thinking A.

Answer 13

I figured because the capital of Florida is Tallahassee. Tallahassee is located in between the boarders with Georgia & Alabama.

Answer 14

That alienates the middle of the country, as it wouldn't be near the boarder JOLG

Answer 15

the country becomes a Alien

Answer 16

*takes laughing break* NJ, I agree with A. =P

Answer 17

Okay ill go with A thanks for the help guys.

Answer 18

I did understand anything you said Jay ._.

Answer 19

It only makes sense for the capital (where the most people will be most likely) to be near a major resource that will be required for survival.

The rest of the options either are referring to countries, or make no sense from what I can tell.

Answer 20

The state of Florida depends on Lake Okeechobee (Huge lake in the middle of Florida). But Tallahassee is about 4-6 hours away from it.

Answer 21

im kinda dumb but i atleast know jays answers are always right ps: hes a geek

Answer 22

Doesn't mean it always is true, but your option you chose would alienate states towards the center of a country, as they wouldn't be near the border.


Imagine you follow that rule and all that's left is a dessert wasteland, it's just not logical.

Answer 26

the location of any capital city is an historical artefact, because countries and states were formed a long time ago. in times when trade was conducted by boat, then water (rivers, leading into seas) was important. so, for example, Madrid is **the** car-crash of all capital cities. And, no accident, Spain never properly industrialised. partly due to no access to fossil fuels but also because it's "capital city" is in the wrong place. Barcelona would have made for a much better capital.

in this age, access to bandwidth is as important as access to airports.

it's complicated.

Answer 27

your dad wont let you hit enter?
