Correct Answer
A. Unfair for MEDCs to impose trade restrictions that prevent LEDCs from selling high-value processed goods to MEDCs.Explanation

This belief is rooted in the principle of fairness and justice, as it recognizes the importance of equal economic opportunities for all nations. Imposing trade restrictions hinders the economic growth and development of LEDCs, perpetuating poverty and inequality.

-

Approximately one quarter of the world's population lives in the developed world (MEDCs).

-
West of the Equator.
-
East of the Equator.
Correct Answer

Most of the poor countries (LEDCs) of the world are located south of the Equator. This is because many countries in the southern hemisphere, particularly in Africa and parts of Asia and South America, face significant economic challenges and high levels of poverty.

Which of the following is likely to cause death by cholera in LEDCs?
-
Lack of access to clean drinking water
-
Exploitation of the poor
-
Heavy rains in places where it does not normally rain
-
Lack of food
Correct Answer
