Answer 1

This one is significantly harder

Answer 2

But I know "Core countries are consumers, semi-peripheral countries are producers, and peripheral countries are extractors. "Periphery countries are known for exporting raw goods to core countries." "Periphery countries are continuously exploited by countries due to the exportation of surpluses of raw goods to the more technologically industrialized core countries for manufacturing and distribution."

Answer 3

ok so lets cross some things off the list(i don't know the answer but I may be able to help a bit)
import is when things go in to the country while export is when things go out which is why we can cross off number two because core countries rely on imports while peripheral countries produce!

Answer 4

That is all i can tell you as i am not skilled in economy however this may help it is only a few paragraphs
