Town…. not really. They were some ten miles from the next food depot, and they knew where it was, but just couldn’t make it. There are no real towns on Antarctica even today, and there were certainly no permanent settlements either back then.

What were the 3 biggest states? You had 48 then am I right?
Texas is the only one I know for sure.

Florida, and Alaska.

Florida really?
Alaska was not a state in 1912, otherwise I thought it was the biggest.
Thanks Garg.Not sure you would pass in the drawing of important people though Garg.

Didn’t think it was terribly hard, although deciphering the antiquated grammar/question formulation, the jumbled resolution of the pic, and unfamiliar abbreviations of the arithmetic section made it unnecessarily difficult. And the grammar section, which I never pay attention to and think it’s a lot of hoopla over arbitrary nonsense.
Everything else I passed with ease, more or less.
California would be in the largest states of the time, I think.
