C. airplanes

-I responded it incorrectly because i chose answer D. suspension bridges, because i went through the test too quick.

19. based on the map, you could infer that Ohio was _______ than Pennsylvania in the early 1900s.
B. less progressive

- I repsonded to it incorrectly because i did not read the question carefully.

I got advanced which was 21 out of 23. I can honestly say im a good test taker, but the jeopardy/study guide really helped me prepare for this test. Also my attendance really helped my grade out because I wasnt absent for the past 2 weeks. other than the fact that the test was pretty easy(:

Recreation in the United States

1. When and why did Americans recreate?
-The Americans recreated in the end of the 19th century. They recreated because they were trying to get out of the industrialization movement. Americans created amusement parks and bicycles for enjoyment. Women's clothing  became more relaxed so they can enjoy bicycling.
2. Were the reasons that Americans began to recreate the same or different compared to Americans today?-I think it is kinda the same because we enjoy the same type of recreation activities as back then. Also there is a lot of innovators that create new ideas and funner activities to enjoy.
