Which statement best explains the prelude to the flood? (I haven't seen anyone post this question, but just incase someone wants the answer, here it is)

Levees were put in place to control flooding on the Mississippi River.

Earlier floods did not cause the same problems as the flood in 1927.

A period of heavy rain for several months eventually led to the great flood.

The Mississippi River Commission adopted a “levees-only” policy in the late 1800s.

The answer is C: A period of heavy rain for several months eventually led to the great flood.

Hope this helped anyone who needs it!
