Final answer:
The cities in order of least to greatest distance from Augusta, Maine, are Albany, Boston, and Chicago, respectively so the correct answer is Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question requires listing cities in order of least to greatest distance from Augusta. Without specifying which Augusta is being referred to (as there are several in the United States), the most common assumption is Augusta, Maine. To determine the correct order, we can use mapping tools.
- Albany, New York, is the nearest to Augusta, Maine.
- Boston, Massachusetts, is farther than Albany from Augusta.
- Chicago, Illinois, is the farthest from Augusta of the three.
Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest distance from Augusta is Albany, Boston, Chicago, making the correct option Boston, Albany, Chicago which is Option C.
