Proruptions in other countries typically serve similar purposes. (C) is correct.

How- ever, more importantly, the increased production from growing two or three crops per year can support more people. Because of this practice, the world will see less famine. Thus, (D) is correct. Subsistence farmers grow only enough food to feed themselves and their family, leaving little surplus for trade to others; (A) is incorrect. Double- and triple-cropping merely grows more of the same crop type. So, consumers would simply have more of one type of food; (B) is incorrect. Crop rotation involves different types of crops being cycled through a single field, not more of the same type of crop; (C) is incorrect. While double- and triple-cropping can help commercial farmers meet business demands, it is also practiced by family farmers without investors; (E) is incorrect.<\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><br \/>\n\t<div   class='av_promobox  avia-button-no   avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_toggle_container  el_before_av_toggle_container '>\t\t<div class='avia-promocontent'><\/p>\n<h3><strong>AP Human Geography Free Practice Question #5<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Which of the following statements describes a major difference between U.S. and European cities?<br \/>\nA.\u00a0U.S. cities have zones that are often intermixed, with commercial establishments and residences in the same building.<br \/>\nB.\u00a0Traditional European cities were not designed to accommodate automobiles.<br \/>\nC.\u00a0U.S. cities have a dendritic street pattern, whereas European cities have a grid street pattern.<br \/>\nD.\u00a0European cities were constructed in accordance with religious beliefs.<br \/>\nE.\u00a0Skyscrapers in U.S. cities are located far from the center of the city.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class=\"togglecontainer   toggle_close_all  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_promobox  el_before_av_promobox \" >\n<section class=\"av_toggle_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\"  >    <div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  >        <p data-fake-id=\"#toggle-id-5\" class=\"toggler \"  itemprop=\"headline\"    role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"toggle-id-5\">Answer 5<span class=\"toggle_icon\" >        <span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>        <div id=\"toggle-id-5\" class=\"toggle_wrap \"  >            <div class=\"toggle_content invers-color \"  itemprop=\"text\"   ><p><b>B:\u00a0<\/b>Traditional European cities were built long before the invention of the automobile, resulting in streets that are difficult for modern driving; (B) is correct.

However, this model is generally considered outdated, as cities today have expanded in ways that cannot be categorized by simple concentric zones; (B) is correct. This model was based on Chicago of the early 1900s because the city had concentric zones at the time, eliminating (A). (C) is incorrect because this fact is not at odds with the model, which suggests that upper classes live farther from the central business district because they can afford to com- mute into the city to work. In European cities, the wealthy live close to the central business district, which does not fit the concentric zone model; (D) is incorrect.
