Which of the following words does not describe a metropolitan area - rural suburban urban?
The word "rural" describes an area that is in the country. Therefore, since it is not in the city, it does not describe a metropolitan area. Your answer is rural.
Rural areas are places like a city with lots of people a urban area doesn't necessarily have a lot of people like the outskirts of a town where the farms are.hope this helps! as much as i know about...
