Correct Answer
C. Physiological needs, physical safety, love and belongingness, esteem, self-actualization/self-realizationExplanation
Abraham Maslow elaborated on the grouping of needs that includes physiological needs, physical safety, love and belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization/self-realization. Maslow's hierarchy of needs suggests that individuals have a set of basic needs that must be fulfilled in order to progress to higher levels of psychological development. These needs start with physiological needs such as food, water, and shelter, then progress to safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and ultimately self-actualization needs. Maslow believed that individuals strive to fulfill these needs in a hierarchical order, with each level building upon the previous one.Rate this question:

- D.
The latter is based upon the assumption of do nothing while the former ignores historic patterns.
Correct Answer
B. The former forecasts varying rates of growth of local economic output and creates alternative scenarios.Explanation
The correct answer is that the main difference between the economic method of projecting population growth and the "mathematical methods" is that the former takes into account movement of people while the latter only considers reproduction and deaths. This means that the economic method considers factors such as migration and immigration, which can greatly impact population growth, while the mathematical methods focus solely on birth and death rates. This difference allows the economic method to provide a more comprehensive and realistic projection of population growth by incorporating a wider range of factors.Rate this question:

- B.
These NCR areas are likely approaching their viable population limits.
- C.
These NCR areas tend to physically decay with population density beyond a tolerable range.
- D.
New or young families in these NCR areas are likely to settle somewhere else.
Correct Answer
B. These NCR areas are likely approaching their viable population limits.Explanation
The statement "These NCR areas are likely approaching their viable population limits" is the most relevant to sustainable capacity and livability. This is because the question mentions the lowest population growth rates in these areas, suggesting that the population is not increasing rapidly. Approaching viable population limits indicates that the areas may not be able to support a larger population without compromising livability and sustainability. This implies that the current population is already putting a strain on resources and infrastructure, making it necessary to consider sustainable population growth and development in these areas.Rate this question:

In RA 9397's amendment to expand socialized housing options of national local government under RA7279 UDHA, which common model/program is being remedied for its uneven effectiveness in addressing homelessness
- A.
Transfer of homelot ownership in fee simple
- B.
Public rental housing
- C.
Usufruct or lease with option to purchase
- D.
Timeshare arrangements and communal shelter
Correct Answer
A. Transfer of homelot ownership in fee simpleExplanation
The correct answer is "transfer of homelot ownership in fee simple". This model/program is being remedied for its uneven effectiveness in addressing homelessness because transferring ownership of homelots in fee simple may not be feasible or affordable for all individuals or families experiencing homelessness. This model assumes that individuals have the financial means to purchase and maintain a home, which may not be the case for those in need of socialized housing options. Therefore, alternative models/programs such as public rental housing, usufruct or lease with option to purchase, and timeshare arrangements and communal shelter may be more suitable and effective in addressing homelessness.Rate this question:

The purpose is to identify the options that have the least negative impact on the natural environment. This approach is also known as 'cradle to grave' because it considers the entire life cycle of the product. Carbon Footprinting and Zero Waste Management are related concepts but do not encompass the entire life cycle assessment. Industrial Design focuses on the design process rather than the environmental impact assessment.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
E. Mothers with infants and young children are zoned of production as jobs in the CBD or in factory district are too far from home to enable women to successfully carry out both domestic duties and formal employmentExplanation
