Question

After the Civil War, the southern eceonmy was primarily
industrial
agrarian
marine
both a and b

In my book, it mentions both industrial and agrarian but then it states the econmy was largely agrarian so I'm not sure what I should put down.

Which of the following was the main economic activity of the plains region?
farming
mining
ranching
all of the above

Once again, I thought farming but it never really said only that-it just mentions farming, mining, ranching as being part of the plains eceonmic activity so I'm not sure again

Help!

Answer 1

The key word is "primarily." Doesn't "largely agrarian" mean the economy was "primarily agrarian?"

The second answer must be "all of the above," unless you can find a more definitive answer in your book.

Answer 2

Thank you, that is somewhat how I felt or was leaning but I just wasn't sure

Thanks again

Answer 3

You're welcome. :-)
