Question

a sharecropper in the south usually needed to:

a. supply his own animals.

b. supply his own tools.

c. let the landowner decide what to plant.

d. rely on land he owned to grow his food.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze sharecropping in the South:

• Option A: Sharecroppers often didn't own animals; landowners or others provided, so A is wrong.
• Option B: Tools were usually provided by landowners or shared, so B is wrong.
• Option C: Sharecroppers typically followed the landowner's planting decisions (as landowners controlled the crop choice for profit), so C is correct.
• Option D: Sharecroppers didn't own land; they rented/used landowner's land, so D is wrong.

Answer:

C. let the landowner decide what to plant.
