Question

two different maps of the same place look very different because one highlights highways and the other highlights ethnic groups. this best shows that maps -

• are not trusted sources of information.
• only show physical geography
• cannot include human features.
• can reflect perspectives and purposes.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• "are not trusted sources of information" is incorrect as maps are trusted for their respective purposes.
• "only show physical geography" is wrong because one map shows ethnic groups (human - related) and the other shows highways (human - made physical feature), so they aren't limited to physical geography.
• "cannot include human features" is incorrect as the map with highways and the one with ethnic groups include human - related features.
• "can reflect perspectives and purposes" is correct because the two maps of the same place look different as they are made for different purposes (showing highways vs. ethnic groups) and from different perspectives (transportation vs. cultural/ethnic distribution).

Answer:

D. can reflect perspectives and purposes.
