Question and options restated: Question: Which statement is best supported by the information on the map? Options: 1) Western states did not support the decision to create the relocation centers. 2) Relocation centers had to be placed near rivers. 3) Government officials used abandoned mining towns to house Japanese Americans. 4) The government considered Japanese Americans a threat to national security.

Option 1 analysis: The map shows relocation centers with their locations, but it does not provide data about support or opposition from Western states. Without explicit indicators such as voting patterns, newspaper quotes, or legislative records depicted on the map, we cannot conclude that Western states did not support the decision. Therefore this option is not strongly supported by the map alone.

Option 2 analysis: There is no pattern on the map indicating relocation centers were placed near rivers or water features as a deliberate constraint. The centers are spread across several inland areas as well as coastal locations. The map’s depiction of sites does not imply a requirement to be near rivers, so this claim is not well supported.

Option 3 analysis: The map labels several relocation centers but does not indicate the use of abandoned mining towns or any particular town type. Without additional context about town status or history, this option cannot be verified from the map alone. It would require supplementary information about site designation rather than geographic listing.

Option 4 analysis: The map highlights multiple relocation centers across the West and shows government-initiated relocation during 1942–1945. While the map itself is geographic, the broader historical context associated with these centers is that they were a wartime policy rooted in national security concerns, leading to the interpretation that the government treated Japanese Americans as a potential threat. This statement is consistent with the historical purpose of the camps and is the most plausible interpretation supported by the depicted relocation program.

In summary, the first three options make claims about support, site proximity to rivers, or town types that are not directly evidenced by the map alone. The fourth option aligns with the historical context of the relocation centers and is the best-supported interpretation given the map’s subject matter and labeling of the relocation sites. The reasoning emphasizes evaluating what the map explicitly shows versus what must be inferred, and it highlights why the other statements lack direct support from the visual information provided.
