A:Olmsted County is a fairly standard mix of urban and rural areas in that there’s no transition or buffer between the two environments. Rochester, Minnesota’s third largest city of roughly 118,000 people sits in the Zumbro River valley at the center of the county. Outside the valley however, with the exception of a small amount of urban growth in the last few years, remains farmland with small agricultural based communities and no directly adjacent suburbs. Stewartville, the county’s second largest city, is slightly over 1/20th the size at roughly 6,000 people, an unusually large gap for a metropolitan area. B:Would a person who lives in a city in Olmsted County probably have trouble finding a farmers' market? Answer: stop
A:Europeans probably became aware of Greenland's existence in the early 10th century, after Gunnbjörn Ulfsson, while sailing from Norway to Iceland, was blown off course by a storm and sighted some islands off Greenland. During the 980s explorers led by Erik the Red set out from Iceland and reached the southwest coast of Greenland. They found the region uninhabited, and subsequently settled there. Erik named the island "Greenland" ("Grœnland" in Old Norse, "Grænland" in modern Icelandic, "Grønland" in modern Danish and Norwegian). Both the "Book of Icelanders" ("Íslendingabók", a medieval account of Icelandic history from the 12th century onward) and the "Saga of Eric the Red" ("Eiríks saga rauða", a medieval account of his life and of the Norse settlement of Greenland) state that Erik said that "it would encourage people to go there that the land had a good name"." B:Given the Vikings' well-known reputation as marauders and invaders, would you say that settling into Greenland was somewhat uncharacteristic (at least, compared to that historical stereotype)? Answer: stop

During the 980s explorers led by Erik the Red set out from Iceland and reached the southwest coast of Greenland. They found other uninhabited regions in the area to be inhospitable, so they returned to the populated areas and settled there after some brief resistance.

B:Is it plausible, from this passage, that the ancestors of the Inuit had already discovered parts of Greenland before Erik the Red's voyages Answer: consistently
