Which of the following best illustrates the sequence of events described for the town of Kennicott, Alaska?

  1. Copper drew prospectors, copper ran out, town abandoned, tourists attraction

  2. Prospectors moved in, town was abandoned, copper was discovered, tourists arrived

  3. Town was built, copper was extracted, tourists visited, town became a national park

  4. Tourists arrived, copper was mined, town was settled, town abandoned

The correct answer is: Copper drew prospectors, copper ran out, town abandoned, tourists attraction

Option B is incorrect because the sequence of events starts with copper drawing prospectors which led to the establishment of the town. In option B, the town is abandoned first before discovering copper, which is incorrect. Option C is incorrect because the sequence of events does not mention the building of the town, only the extraction of copper. Option D is incorrect because the sequence of events does not mention tourists arriving first, but rather after the town was settled and the copper was mined. Therefore, option A is the best illustration as it accurately describes the sequence of events for the town of Kennicott, Alaska.
