🔍 Key Concepts

• Think about where many major international shipping companies, financial markets, and media networks are headquartered in the United States. • Consider which city historically has been a global hub for communications, finance, and business. • Remember that a "major telecommunication center" would likely be in a city with extensive international connections and infrastructure.

💭 Think About

• Which of these cities is most commonly known worldwide as a center for global finance and media? • If you had to pick one U.S. city that foreign countries and businesses would most often call or connect through, which would it be? • Among the options, which city has the longest-standing reputation as a national and international communications hub?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare each option’s role in national and international communications (news, finance, media, and business). • Ask yourself which city is most likely to host major telecom carriers’ headquarters and network hubs. • Eliminate cities that are more famous for energy, government, or regional industry rather than nationwide telecommunications.
