Replacement rate, the number of births needed to keep a population at a stable level without immigration, requires a total fetility of
- A.
10
- B.
2.1
- C.
3.5
- D.
5
Correct Answer
B. 2.1Explanation
The replacement rate refers to the number of births needed to maintain a stable population without considering immigration. A total fertility rate of 2.1 is considered the replacement level because it takes into account factors such as infant mortality and individuals who may not reproduce. This means that, on average, each woman needs to have 2.1 children in order to replace herself and her partner in the population.Rate this question:

Population by the number of farmers
- B.
Area of square miles by 5
- C.
Area of the country by the population
- D.
Population by the total area
Correct Answer
D. Population by the total areaExplanation
The arithmetic density of population for a country is determined by dividing the population by the total area. This calculation gives an average measure of how many people are living in a given area. By dividing the population by the total area, we can determine the density of the population, which helps in understanding the distribution and concentration of people within a country.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Physiologic densityExplanation
Physiologic density refers to the number of people per unit area of agriculturally productive land. It takes into account only the land that is suitable for agriculture and measures the population pressure on this specific type of land. This density indicator helps to understand the relationship between population and the availability of agricultural resources, providing insights into the sustainability and productivity of agricultural practices in a given area.Rate this question:

The correct answer is the Megalopolis region. The Megalopolis region is a heavily urbanized area that stretches along the northeastern coast of the United States, from Boston to Washington, D.C. It includes major cities like New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston. This region has a high population density and is a major economic and cultural hub. Therefore, it makes sense that the major focus of North America's population would be the Megalopolis region.Rate this question:

In 1789, a British economist named Thomas Malthus published an essay in which he claimed that while population increased at what he called a geometric rate, the means of subsistence grew only at
- A.
An arithmetic (linear) rate
- B.
A rate depending on the particular culture involved
- C.
A declining rate
- D.
An unpredictable rate
Correct Answer
A. An arithmetic (linear) rateExplanation
Thomas Malthus argued that population grows exponentially, or at a geometric rate, while the means of subsistence, such as food production, only increases linearly, or at an arithmetic rate. This means that population growth will outpace the growth of resources, leading to scarcity and ultimately a decline in living standards. Malthus believed that this imbalance would result in checks on population growth, such as famine, disease, and war. His theory sparked debates about population control and resource management, and it continues to be influential in discussions about sustainability and the relationship between population and resources.Rate this question:

Births and _____ add to the population growth of a particular country.
- A.
Rise in the death rate
- B.
Emigration
- C.
Immigration
- D.
Increased agricultural output
Correct Answer
C. ImmigrationExplanation
Immigration is the correct answer because when people move into a particular country from other nations, it increases the population of that country. Births also contribute to population growth, but the question specifically mentions "and" which implies that another factor is needed. The rise in the death rate would actually decrease the population, while emigration would result in people leaving the country and therefore not contribute to population growth. Increased agricultural output may improve the economy but does not directly impact population growth.Rate this question:

In the 1970's the government of india used this method to reduce the population growth rates in certain areas of the country.
- A.
Tax incentives
- B.
Forced sterilization of males
- C.
Free housing for small families
- D.
Cash awards
Correct Answer
B. Forced sterilization of malesExplanation
In the 1970s, the government of India implemented forced sterilization of males as a method to reduce population growth rates in certain areas of the country. This approach involved mandating sterilization procedures for men without their consent or choice, aiming to control population growth by limiting the number of births. This controversial and coercive method was considered an extreme measure to address population control and faced criticism for violating human rights and individual autonomy.Rate this question:

Low population grown resulting from high CBR and very high CDR is characteristic of state ___ of the demographic transition.
- A.
I
- B.
II
- C.
III
- D.
IV
Correct Answer
A. IExplanation
The correct answer is I because in the first stage of the demographic transition, both the crude birth rate (CBR) and crude death rate (CDR) are high. This leads to a low population growth rate as the high CDR offsets the high CBR. This stage is typically seen in pre-industrial societies where there is limited access to healthcare, high infant mortality rates, and a reliance on agriculture for survival.Rate this question:

A population pyramid with a wide base and narrow top is indicative of
- A.
Developed countries
- B.
Countries in Stage IV of the demographic transition.
- C.
Developing countries.
- D.
Low infant mortality.
Correct Answer
C. Developing countries.Explanation
A population pyramid with a wide base and narrow top is indicative of developing countries. This is because developing countries typically have high birth rates and high death rates, resulting in a large proportion of young people in the population. As these countries develop and improve healthcare and living conditions, birth rates decrease and life expectancy increases, leading to a more balanced population structure with a narrower base and wider top. Therefore, a population pyramid with a wide base and narrow top suggests a developing country.Rate this question:

Population policies which favor the promotion of birth control among certain groups in the population (ethnic, religious, or socio-economic groups) are referred to as
- A.
Population planning
- B.
Eugenics
- C.
Socialism
Correct Answer
B. EugenicsExplanation
Eugenics refers to population policies that promote birth control among specific groups based on factors such as ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic status. This approach aims to improve the genetic quality of the population by controlling reproduction within certain groups. It is important to note that eugenics has been widely criticized for its association with discriminatory practices and human rights violations.Rate this question:

A vectored infectious disease is
- A.
Transmitted by an intermediary, such as a mosquito.
- B.
Transmitted by direct contact host and victim.
- C.
Never fatal to humans.
- D.
Always fatal to hums.
Correct Answer
A. Transmitted by an intermediary, such as a mosquito.Explanation
A vectored infectious disease is transmitted by an intermediary, such as a mosquito. This means that the disease-causing agent, such as a virus or bacteria, is carried and transmitted by another organism, in this case, a mosquito. The mosquito acts as a vector, transmitting the disease from one host to another. This mode of transmission is common in diseases like malaria and dengue fever, where the mosquito acts as a carrier of the disease-causing agent and spreads it to humans when it bites them.Rate this question:

Residential clusters that result from voluntary segregation are known as:
- A.
Ghettos
- B.
Integrated neighborhoods
- C.
Enclaves
- D.
Plantations
Correct Answer
C. EnclavesExplanation
Enclaves are residential clusters that result from voluntary segregation. These are areas where certain groups of people choose to live together, often due to shared cultural or ethnic backgrounds. These enclaves can be found in many cities and are characterized by a high concentration of a particular group within a specific neighborhood or district. Unlike ghettos, which are often associated with poverty and lack of opportunity, enclaves can be vibrant and thriving communities that provide a sense of belonging and cultural preservation for their residents. Integrated neighborhoods, on the other hand, refer to areas where different racial or ethnic groups live together harmoniously, without voluntary segregation. Plantations, in this context, do not relate to residential clusters resulting from voluntary segregation.Rate this question:

Which economic activity is not counted in GNP calculations?
- A.
Commercial farming
- B.
Tending a home garden
- C.
Teaching
- D.
Auto repair
Correct Answer
B. Tending a home gardenExplanation
Tending a home garden is not counted in GNP calculations because it is considered a non-market economic activity. GNP (Gross National Product) measures the total value of goods and services produced by a country's residents, regardless of where they are located. Commercial farming, teaching, and auto repair are all market activities that involve the production of goods or services for monetary exchange, and therefore they are included in GNP calculations. However, tending a home garden is typically done for personal consumption and not for sale in the market, so it is not considered a part of the formal economy and is not included in GNP calculations.Rate this question:
