Question 7 • Principles of American Democracy

Where are elevated homes most likely to be located?

Answer
A
in the Midwest, where tornadoes occur regularly
B
in the Southeast near the sea, where hurricanes are common
C
in Oklahoma, where tornadoes are common
D
in New York, where there are often blizzards

Explanation

Elevated homes are commonly built in coastal areas that are at risk of flooding from storm surge. Hurricanes can push seawater onto shore, so homes near the sea in the Southeast are often raised above the ground. Tornadoes and blizzards do not create the same coastal flooding risk.
