Thank you! I'm glad I could help. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
Hello! It seems like you already have the correct answers to the questions. Great job!
1. The correct answer is D. The National Reclamation Act of 1902 is summarized as the U.S. government funding water projects in the west. To arrive at this answer, you can deduce that options A, B, and C are not related to the National Reclamation Act of 1902. By process of elimination, option D is the most accurate summary.
2. The correct answer is A. To determine this, you can consider which proposal aligns with the Carlsbad Irrigation District. Option A states that an investor wants to construct a new dam on the Pecos River, which is relevant to the Carlsbad Irrigation District. The other options do not mention the Carlsbad Irrigation District, making option A the most likely choice.
3. The correct answer is B. To evaluate the overall effects of water projects in New Mexico, you need to identify the statement that reflects the positive impact of these projects. Option B states that water projects make it possible for more people to live, work, and farm in the state, highlighting the benefits of water projects. The other options present negative or limited effects, which make option B the best evaluation.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
