Texas has been dominated by four main industries: oil, cotton,

timber and cattle. The importance of the cattle industry to the

D. Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is named after the first president of the U.S., George Washington.

E. Utah is a state in the Western region of the United States. Due to its beautiful nature it is a popular tourist destination. Utah claim
to have the greatest snow on Earth". The snow density is 8.5% which, apparently, is the perfect balance of wetness and fluffiness. Maybe this is what convinced the International Olympic Committee to host the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah.
