The diagram below represents four square areas of land of equal size. The shaded portions of each area designate arable farmland, and each dot represents a defined quantity of people. Assume that all people located within the shaded, farmland are themselves farmers. Based on these guidelines, match each of the four squares (A, B, C, and D) with its corresponding population density characteristic. Note: This question is designed to be answerable by thoughtfully eyeballing it, but if you would prefer to calculate values for different types of population density in each area, assume that each dot represents 1000 people, and that each of the four squares is four square miles in area. For example, the crude population of square A would be equal to 2000 people per square mile (i.e., 8000 people divided by 4 square miles of total area).
