Mina · Answer 1

At least one of the places named should be near a large body of water, such as the coasts, the Great Lakes, or the Mississippi River. People settle along the coast and near lakes and rivers for several reasons. Large bodies of water allow people and goods to be transported, and cities usually develop near ports and harbors. Many jobs can be found in these cities, not only in fishing, shipping, and manufacturing, but in all the businesses that support these workers. In addition to the practical reasons for living near water, many people enjoy living near water for the view and for sailing, fishing, swimming, surfing, and other forms of recreation.
