Why was the creation of the two reservoirs in Tikal necessary?
A
because the rainforest was a place that was
always wet and had an excess amount of
water
B
because it had an important spring teeming
with water that needed to be collected and
stored
C
because the Maya had just invented a system
for retrieving groundwater from below
D
because the city got little rain for half the year
and there were no year-round lakes or rivers

In 1914, alabama produced 1.7 million bales of cotton, but three years later produced only 515,000, bales. meanwhile, in georgia, 5.2 million acres of land was dedicated for cotton production in 1914, but by 1923 there were just 2.6 million acres used for growing cotton. all of this was the result of the work of a tiny insect: the boll weevil. alabama and georgia first felt the effects of the boll weevil at different times. what would account for this difference in timing? a) the infestation moved from west to east. b) the infestation moved from east to west. c) georgia had better ways to deal with the problem. d) alabama was further from the insect's point of origin.
