After World War II, people began living in suburban areas. How might the movement of people from cities to suburbs be related to the development of pesticides by chemists?
Answer
A
Pesticides were needed in urban areas for pests that moved into abandoned apartments, such as ants, bees, and other insects.
B
Pesticides were used to help convert farmland into lawns and to rid new homes and neighborhoods of insects.
C
Pesticides were needed to kill foreign species of insects that were carried into the country on the clothing and military equipment of troops returning from war.
