Final answer:
Without the specific map referred to, it's not possible to definitively answer the question. The student is being asked to identify the state in the Southern U.S. with the capital city of Richmond, which is Virginia.
Step-by-step explanation:
Unfortunately, the information provided from Chapter 15 does not include the map of the South region of the United States of America. This prevents a clear determination of the answer. However, if you are looking at a map of the South region and wish to identify the state with the capital city of Richmond, you should be aware that this is the state of Virginia. Without the map, it's not possible to state definitively what number Virginia is labeled as. Cross referencing this information with your particular map will provide the correct answer among the options given (1, 2, 3, or 4).
