3. Dix also joined a growing movement to improve conditions in prisons. Men, women, and children were often crammed together in cold, damp rooms. When food supplies were low, prisoners went hungry—unless they had money to buy meals from jailers.

The correct response to question 2 should actually be: Most states in the South had at least two crops on which their economy relied.
The statement "The southern-most states relied most heavily on one crop" can be misleading, as it may imply that the southern states only relied on one crop, when in fact many of them were diversified in terms of agriculture. Therefore, the best description based on the information from the map indicates that most states in the South cultivated multiple crops to support their economies.
