Answer 5

1) I'd actually go with (B). Global interdependence favors more open markets than those controlled in a command company. However, because of that interdependence, a lot of things are also tied together so what happens in one country may affect a company's business decisions elsewhere.

2) I'd also agree with (C). It's the same thing that we've seen in the United States after WW2 when bringing women into the workforce helped to open more opportunities for them in seeking more roles outside of the "traditional" home.

3) I'd actually go with (D). Terrorism doesn't actually impact the environment in in the same kind of scope that globalization has. For one example, just look at what's happening in China. Its industries have grown by leaps and bounds thanks to globalization and in being the world's manufacturer. At the same time, its environmental record is horrendous.

4) I'd also agree with (C) Mali. Education plays a very important part in a healthy economy.

5) The blue shows the highest GNI PPP per capita and it shows that both Europe and the US fall into that category. They're also developed nations, so inversely, the ones with the lowest GNI PPP are the ones without that kind of economic power and are still developing. So I'd go with (A).
