<task> Solve the task by identifying the type of grain found in the black-highlighted areas on the map and provide two factors influencing its distribution.</task>
<instructions> <instruction>Analyze the map: First, carefully examine the highlighted areas on the map. Pay attention to the continents and regions where these areas are located. Try to identify the general climate zones in which these areas fall.</instruction> <instruction>Consider the types of grain: Think about different kinds of grains and their climatic and geographical preferences worldwide. What grains are cultivated in the highlighted regions?</instruction> <instruction>Use additional clues (if available): If you have supplementary images with various grains, compare their distribution with the map in the task. This could help narrow down the possibilities.</instruction> <instruction>Select the most likely grain: Based on the map analysis and…
