falling into place along the fall line
from connecticut to georgia, a string of cities—

on many other places around the world, this
fall line has helped shape human civilization by
influencing where people choose to settle. modern

- Option D: The text states "The fall line provided many natural resources that attracted settlers", so this is a key idea from the article.
Options A (about city lights from space) and C (about rock hardness) are not related to the article's focus on the fall line and city settlements. Option E (about mills along rivers) is not mentioned in the provided article text.
