Question

Which of the following examples is the best way of describing the essential element of geography called “places and regions”? A. understanding the cultures that humans create B. learning about how the environment affects humans C. studying what places are like and why they are grouped together D. seeing why things are located in different places

Answer 1

C. studying what places are like and why they are grouped together

Answer 2

The answer is most likely: C. studying what places are like and why they are grouped together

I can say so because it is the only choice that directly describes the relationship between places and regions. The building block of unit of a region is a place. Hence, in geography, people determine how places are alike, then these places are grouped into one region. Usually, a region is selected based on the boundary locations.
