Question

Which of the following quotes are accurate statements that Ziva should tell her friend about regions in the United States? (Check all that are true.)

A. "Regions are determined by the shared characteristics in an area."
B. "The United States can be divided into political and economic regions."
C. "The United States can only be divided into regions based on the location of states."
D. "There are many different ways that regions can be divided in the United States."

Answer 1

Accurate statements about regions in the United States include their definition by shared characteristics, the division into political and economic regions, and the existence of multiple ways to categorize regions. Regions are not strictly divided based on state locations alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

The accurate statements that Ziva should tell her friend about regions in the United States are:

• "Regions are determined by the shared characteristics in an area."
• "The United States can be divided into political and economic regions."
• "There are many different ways that regions can be divided in the United States."

Statement C, "The United States can only be divided into regions based on the location of states," is not accurate because regions can be defined by various factors, not solely by state boundaries. Regions can be formal, functional, or perceptual and can be based on a variety of characteristics, such as economic resources, cultural traits, language, climate, trade networks, river systems, and religion.
