Which of the following is the MOST LIKELY way that the goods will be transported from the
store to Ruby's home?

Answer 1

1. A. He was an advisor and mediator who contributed to the Georgia Colony's success and security.
- Tomochichi granted land for Savannah, allied with James Oglethorpe, and helped mediate relations between the English and local Native peoples.

2. Savannah was chosen because it sits at the mouth of the Savannah River with a deep-water harbor and easy access to the interior. That location allowed ships to dock, facilitated trade and supply lines, provided fresh water, and was easier to defend.

3. The goods will most likely be transported by air (air freight) across the country, with final delivery by truck.
- A two-day coast-to-coast delivery typically uses airplanes for the long-distance leg and trucks/vans for pickup and last-mile delivery.
