1. B. The effecs of an abundance of wood on the colonies

negative aspects as well

2. A. Realistically
3. D. They covered the entire continent

Reason : Because the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by

 4. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful
supply of wood. The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an
entire continent covered by a climax forest. Even along the Atlantic seaboard,
the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, there was an abundant
supply of fine trees of all types, and through the early colonial period, those who
pushed westward encountered new forests.
5. C. Was slightly higher than in previous years

Reason : Because By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had
risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.

6. D. They were usually built from materials other than wood

Reason : Because Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood
to a degree unknown in Britain.

7. B. To give an example of a product made wih wood compounds

Reason : Because it was used as the source of important industrial

compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component
of gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.
8. C. Have the opportunity
9. C. It produced a stronger type of iron than wood smelting

Reason : Because Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was

linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution.

10. Britain abandoned the charcoal method and went on to develop coke smelting.
The colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood, and besides,
charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technological
innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. The
former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their
supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron.
