An immigrant sails to North America in the early 1700s in hopes of starting a tobacco farm. He has done some research on the best environment for tobacco farming. Where is the immigrant most likely to settle?

Question

1. Pennsylvania
2. Massachusetts
3. Virginia
4. Rhode Island

Answer 1

The immigrant is most likely to settle in Virginia. During the early 1700s, Virginia was one of the leading tobacco-producing colonies in North America, with the warm climate and fertile soil being ideal for tobacco farming. The other options, such as Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, had less focus on tobacco agriculture and were more known for other crops or industries. Rhode Island also had a different economic focus that did not center on tobacco farming.
