Los Angeles, Honolulu, San Francisco, Austin, and New York City are the U.S. cities most afflicted by what consequence of industrialization?
  1. Air pollution
  2. Traffic congestion
  3. Crime
  4. Water pollution
Explanation
Answer: B -Los Angeles, Honolulu, San Francisco, Austin, and New York City are the U.S. cities most afflicted by traffic congestion, a consequence of industrialization. Honolulu’s geographic position-in a small state that is isolated by a vast expanse of ocean and oceanic breezes-should make it easy to rule out air pollution and water pollution, which are more likely to occur in cities and regions with higher population densities. Honolulu is a large city, but the population density in the region is very low compared to the continental United States. Many would be surprised to learn that none of the cities named rank among the top 25 in crime, according to the FBI.
