Answer 1

If farmers on the Great Plains had practiced crop rotation in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Dust Bowl would not have existed. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. Rotation farming helps to reduce the erosion of soil. I hope the answer helps you.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. the soil could have recovered its nutrients. Just took the test :)

Also, a lack of crop rotation wasn't the only factor that lead to the Dust Bowl, there were other factors such as extreme drought that lead to the Dust Bowl as well. (Possible reason why B. is incorrect)
