Question

Geographers would most likely call a small settlement with a population of about 75 residents a __________.

a. district
b. town
c. township
d. village

Answer 1

The correct answer is D: Village

Step-by-step explanation:

When talking about the names of the places where people live, work, reside, etc, these depend on different characteristics, but one of the most important is, the number of people who live, or work, in a specific place, or area. Going from the smallest to the largest settlements, the one that has the fewest numbers of people settled there are known as villages. Villages are defined as small settlements of people, usually in rural areas, much smaller than a town, which would be the next in the classification given by geographers, and usually have a really small amount of people living, or working, in it. This is why the correct answer is the last one.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the fourth (D).

The villages are smaller than the towns, the township and the districts.

A locality with few inhabitants, usually rural, whose organization is simpler, without administrative autonomy is considered a village.
