   1. It accurately shows size.
   2. It shows population.
   3. It is a political map.
   4. It is based primarily on natural boundaries.

For questions 3 and 4, use Figure 2.2.D.

Figure 2.2.D (“Precipitation Map of Montana,” National Atlas of the United States, 2005. http://nationalatlas.gov/printable/images/pdf/precip/pageprecip_mt3.pdf)

3. Which of the following statements is a correct description of the types of information that can be accurately obtained from Figure 2.2.D? Do not forget about the information that can be found in the map legend or key.

   2. location of major lakes and rivers, distance, annual precipitation levels
   3. distance, annual precipitation levels, elevation

4. According to Figure 2.2.D, about how much precipitation does most of the state of Montana receive annually?
   
   

For question 5, use Figure 2.2.E and Figure 2.2.F.

Figure 2.2.E, Arizona's congressional boundaries. (National Atlas of the United States. 2005. http://nationalatlas.gov/printable/congress.html#list)

Figure 2.2.F, Colorado's congressional boundaries. (National Atlas of the United States, 2005. http://nationalatlas.gov/printable/congress.html#list)

   3. Oregon has a larger population than Arizona.
   4. The largest populations are only in the states with the most square miles.

7. According to Figure 2.2.G, what is the population of the majority of these states? (hint: you will need to count the number of states in each group)
   1. 10,000,000–33,880,000
   2. 5,000,000–9,999,999
