Question 24 • W Geography_B_IC

Which of the following services or businesses would likely not be found in a lower-order settlement?

Answer
A
a large farm
B
a gas station
C
a big-box department store
D
a hospital specializing in cancer treatment

Explanation

Lower-order settlements usually provide only common, everyday services for nearby residents. A hospital specializing in cancer treatment is highly specialized and serves a wide region, so it is most likely to be located in a larger, higher-order settlement. A gas station is a more basic service and is more likely to be found in a small settlement.
