What two things contributed to the "car culture"? a. growing rural areas and the popularity of fast food restaurants b. growing car sales and growing suburbs c. growing car sales and the popularity of drive-in movies d. growing car sales and growing rural areas

The answer is B.

As car sales started to rise, and suburbs started to grow, people and especially families needed automobiles to not only get from point A to point B, but to have the capability to haul themselves and their family

B. Here is why. First of all rural areas have been declining rapidly for the last couple centuries due to urbanizations which eliminates A and D. Secondly drive-in movies are not popular. Maybe in the 60s and 70s but not now. But maybe its popular in other countries. But that is unlikely. That eliminates C. That leaves B. Growing Car Sales - CHECK Growing Suburbs- Lets think about it. People moving to suburbs also have to commute farther to work making them want a car rather than bike or walk. so -CHECK.
