Answer 1

Based on the information provided in the description of the map, the most accurate conclusion about Japanese internment policies that can be made is:

Japanese Americans were forcibly moved to internment camps located in isolated areas outside of the military exclusion area.

This conclusion reflects the fact that the internment camps mentioned are primarily located in isolated regions, and many of them are located outside the designated Military Exclusion Area on the map. While some centers are in California and Arizona, the majority of camps listed are situated further inland, which supports the idea of them being in isolated locations rather than close to the homes of those interned.

The other options have inaccuracies or do not represent the situation accurately, particularly regarding the location of the camps in relation to Japanese Americans' homes.
