Question 1 • OK-Oklahoma History

Which statement best explains why Oklahoma was considered a good place to raise cattle in the early 1900s?

Answer
A
There was an abundant food supply for cattle and a relatively small human population.
B
The cattle industry had already proven to be successful there.
C
The land was relatively flat and had a mild climate.
D
Because Oklahoma wasn’t regulated by the federal government, cattle ranchers had a lot of economic freedom.

Explanation

Oklahoma had extensive grasslands that provided plentiful grazing, and its relatively small population left large areas available for cattle. Together, these conditions made it a good place to raise cattle. A mild climate or lack of federal regulation was not the main reason.
