Question

Based on the map and your knowledge of Social Studies, which of the following describes why Savannah was chosen as the location of Georgia's first settlement?

3. Ruby, who lives in Marietta, Georgia, orders an old vinyl record from a music store in California using the Internet. The store tells her that the record will arrive in about two days. 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) Savannah was chosen because it sits at the mouth of the Savannah River with a deep-water harbor on the coast. That location provided easy access for ships (trade and supplies), fresh water, fertile land nearby, and a defensible position — all important for a new colony.

3) Cross‑country two‑day delivery is most likely done by air for the long haul and then by truck/van for final local delivery (i.e., flown from California to the Atlanta area, then delivered by ground carrier to Marietta).
