Answer 7

Answer 8

Alright so thinking about this logically. Two of the options contradict each other. Which two?

Answer 9

lower wages and a growing labor pool?

Answer 10

Not quite that. If there is more available land then surely there's not the transportation infrastructure there already right? Since it's not yet been civilized?

Answer 11

Oh.. ok so those two would be crossed off?

Answer 12

There's only one correct answer to this questions since it uses the wording "all of the following except". The Sun Belt had large swathes of untouched land. This lends itself to which of those two options being correct?

Answer 13

access to transportation networks?

Answer 14

That wouldn't be correct because if the land is untouched then transportation networks wouldn't make sense right?

Answer 15

Oh my god I put the other one and then I deleted it because I thought I was wrong

Answer 16

Remember with factories with large workforces we're thinking in an urban context so it would be what the bus systems or subway if we're talking about New York is like.

Answer 17

If there aren't large urban areas since there is available land then the transportations systems for that demographic won't be the best.

Answer 18

Now I've been stuck on these two questions for days, and theres this one I'd like to check. Could you please help with those?

Answer 19

Yeah definitely just open a new question.

Answer 20

Ok thank you!
