You are the head of the Paleontology Department at the American Museum of National History, and you are looking to hire an assistant that is extremely knowledgeable about fossils. You have narrowed your selection down to three applicants. You ask them your final question: “Suppose the Museum offered us funding to go on a fossil dig and you got to book the site.
Where would you go?”
Carlos replies that he would schedule the trip to the Hawaiian Islands; Daniel states that he would go to the Peace River in Florida; Maria says she would go to an active volcano like Mt. Saint Helens. Based on their answers, you immediately know who to hire. Who do you choose and why?

americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. there were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. more people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. while many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in mechanical cotton gins factories manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. people in the north supported high tariffs on goods imported from europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy american” instead. in the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their production to europe and bought their tools from there as well. southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only northern factory owners keep their profits high. so the southern politicians came up with an idea. they would opt out. they would simply ignore the protective tariff. it was ‘null and void’ in south carolina. the state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into south carolina, no matter what the president said they had to do. this decision led to the nullification crisis.

the answers are a and c

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.
