    What natural resources did the French want from Michigan?

    • Cars

    • People

    • Furs

    • Plants

    Correct Answer
    A. Furs
    Explanation
    During the colonization period, the French were interested in acquiring furs from Michigan. Furs were highly valuable commodities in Europe, and Michigan's abundant wildlife, including beavers, provided a rich source of fur pelts. These furs were in high demand for the European fur trade, where they were used for clothing, accessories, and other luxury items. The French established fur trading posts in Michigan to facilitate the collection and export of furs, which played a significant role in their economic activities in the region.

    Father Marquette is credited with establishing the first permanent European settlement in Sault Ste. Marie, which is located in present-day Michigan.

    • Each group wanted to help others.

    • Each group wanted different things.

    Correct Answer
    A. Each group wanted different things.

    The French came to the Great Lakes Region to make money trading furs with the fish.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the French came to the Great Lakes Region to make money trading furs with the Native American tribes, not with the fish. The region was rich in fur-bearing animals like beavers, which had valuable pelts that could be traded for profit. The French established fur trading posts and formed alliances with the Native Americans to facilitate the fur trade.

  • 6. 

    What is opportunity cost?

    • Buying Something for Yourself

    • Working for Fancy Clothes

    • Giving up Something for Someone Else

    Correct Answer
    A. Giving up Something for Someone Else
    Explanation
    Opportunity cost refers to the value of the next best alternative that is foregone when making a decision. In this context, "Giving up Something for Someone Else" is the correct answer because it accurately represents the concept of opportunity cost. It implies that when making a choice, one has to sacrifice or give up something in order to prioritize the needs or wants of someone else. This highlights the trade-off involved in decision-making, where choosing one option means giving up the benefits or opportunities associated with another option.

    Explanation
    Cause and effect refers to the relationship between two events, where one event (the cause) directly leads to or influences another event (the effect). It implies that there is a causal connection between the two events, meaning that the occurrence of the cause event results in the occurrence of the effect event. This concept is often used to understand and explain the consequences or outcomes of certain actions or events.

    Correct Answer
    A. Something from the actual event or time
    Explanation
    A primary source refers to something that originates from the actual event or time being studied. It could be a firsthand account, document, artifact, or any other original source that provides direct evidence or information about the subject.

    Correct Answer
    A. They thought it might lead to China.
    Explanation
    Father Marquette left Michigan to explore the Mississippi River because he and his fellow explorers believed that the river might lead them to China. During that time, there was a fascination with finding a water route to China for trade purposes, and many explorers hoped that the Mississippi River would provide a direct route to the East.

    • West across Atlantic Ocean

    • East across Atlantic Ocean

    • West across Pacific Ocean

    • East across Pacific Ocean

    Correct Answer
    A. East across Atlantic Ocean
    Explanation
    Europe is located east across the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean separates Europe from North America, making it necessary to travel eastward across the ocean to reach Europe. The other options, west across the Atlantic Ocean and both options across the Pacific Ocean, are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the location of Europe.
