Students tackle advanced questions about the Great Lakes, regional errors, and major US rivers. Part A has four multiple-choice questions about a true statement about the Great Lakes, what is wrong with placing the Rocky Mountains in the Southeast, and a major Midwest river tributary. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank problems about a western river, Alaska's land area rank, and the Midwest's agricultural nickname.
Identifying geographic errors and explaining what is wrong requires deeper regional knowledge than simple recall.
