MEDALS!!!!!!! 1.Which is not a factor contributing to poverty in Africa? A-long periods of drought and desertification B-a sudden decline in unemployment C-drastic increase in population leading to a shortage of available resources D-an inability to establish a diverse industrial economy

OpenStudy (bibby):

This is just pure logic. Only one of these things would bring about poorness. Do you have any ideas?

OpenStudy (phebe):

well i think its B

OpenStudy (phebe):

i meant D

OpenStudy (bibby):

A sudden decline in unemployment means, suddenly, more people have jobs. I'll rewrite the choices for you. A-less farmable land B-more people getting jobs C-more people, less food, land, etc. D-not able to develop different kinds of businesses

OpenStudy (phebe):

Its either A or B

OpenStudy (bibby):

Why are you so sure about that?

OpenStudy (bibby):

either way, your choices are A-less farmable land B-more people getting jobs Which one sounds like the poorer country's circumstances?

OpenStudy (phebe):

A

OpenStudy (phebe):

The answer is B that was obvious my bad :)

OpenStudy (bibby):

That's correct. A sudden decline in unemployment is a good thing and /doesn't/ contribute to poverty. Good job!

OpenStudy (phebe):
