The Appalachian Mountains run through which regions of the United States?

• A. Northeast and Southeast
• B. Northwest and Southwest
• C. Midwest and Mountain West
• D. Alaska and Hawaii

Answer: (A)

The main idea is where the Appalachian Mountains sit in the United States. The Appalachians are on the eastern side of the country, running from the Southeast up into the Northeast. They stretch from southern states like Alabama and Georgia up through Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, and into parts of New England. They’re not in the West, Midwest, Alaska, or Hawaii, which are associated with other landscapes. So the mountains lie across the Northeast and Southeast regions.
