Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Counties that have a low-wage economy have difficulty providing the infrastructure needed to provide education for low-wage families. They therefore have difficulty attracting new employers who might contribute to the economic development of a rural area but need a more highly educated workforce. Rural workers are known for their strong work ethic, but they may not have the educational skills that are necessary. Smells from farms is not a typical reason as to why companies do not build in rural areas.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Today, the proportion of Hispanic children is the fastest-growing component of the rural population, regardless of region.
