To solve the problem, we need to identify the states in the United States based on the given latitude and longitude coordinates. Let's go through each coordinate step by step:

Coordinate 1: \(27^\circ \text{N}, 85^\circ \text{W}\)

- Latitude: \(27^\circ \text{N}\) is roughly in the southern part of the United States.
- Longitude: \(85^\circ \text{W}\) is near the eastern part of the country.
- State: This coordinate falls within Alabama.

Coordinate 2: \(40^\circ \text{N}, 90^\circ \text{W}\)

- Latitude: \(40^\circ \text{N}\) is in the mid-northern part of the United States.
- Longitude: \(90^\circ \text{W}\) is near the center of the country.
- State: This coordinate falls within Missouri.

Coordinate 3: \(45^\circ \text{N}, 100^\circ \text{W}\)

- Latitude: \(45^\circ \text{N}\) is in the northern part of the United States.
- Longitude: \(100^\circ \text{W}\) is further west than the previous coordinates.
- State: This coordinate falls within South Dakota.

Coordinate 4: \(31^\circ \text{N}, 105^\circ \text{W}\)

- Latitude: \(31^\circ \text{N}\) is in the southern part of the United States.
- Longitude: \(105^\circ \text{W}\) is further west than the previous coordinates.
- State: This coordinate falls within New Mexico.

Coordinate 5: \(40^\circ \text{N}, 105^\circ \text{W}\)

- Latitude: \(40^\circ \text{N}\) is in the mid-northern part of the United States.
- Longitude: \(105^\circ \text{W}\) is the same as the previous coordinate but at a different latitude.
- State: This coordinate falls within Kansas.

Coordinate 6: \(45^\circ \text{N}, 120^\circ \text{W}\)

- Latitude: \(45^\circ \text{N}\) is in the northern part of the United States.
- Longitude: \(120^\circ \text{W}\) is further west than the previous coordinates.
- State: This coordinate falls within Washington.

Final Answer:

1. \(27^\circ \text{N}, 85^\circ \text{W}\) → Alabama
2. \(40^\circ \text{N}, 90^\circ \text{W}\) → Missouri
3. \(45^\circ \text{N}, 100^\circ \text{W}\) → South Dakota
4. \(31^\circ \text{N}, 105^\circ \text{W}\) → New Mexico
5. \(40^\circ \text{N}, 105^\circ \text{W}\) → Kansas
6. \(45^\circ \text{N}, 120^\circ \text{W}\) → Washington

\[
\boxed{\text{Alabama, Missouri, South Dakota, New Mexico, Kansas, Washington}}
\]
