All of these answers are correct, including your sister's answer for number 2.

The rest of them look good.
thanks guys
I'm still not sure if I'm right on 20 or not, though.
It looks as though I was wrong. (I should have done more research.) Number 20 seems to be D. Thanks Guru.
1. To determine which of the types of forests is NOT found in Northern Eurasia, we need to understand the characteristics of each type.
a. Mid-latitude deciduous forest: These are forests characterized by trees that lose their leaves in the fall and regrow them in the spring. They are typically found in temperate regions.
b. Mixed forest (deciduous and coniferous): These forests contain a mix of trees that shed their leaves in the fall (deciduous trees) and trees that bear cones and are evergreen (coniferous trees). They are found in regions that have a mix of deciduous and coniferous species.
c. Coniferous forest: Also known as taiga, these forests are predominantly made up of evergreen coniferous trees. They are found in subarctic and boreal regions.
d. Chaparral: This type of forest is characterized by drought-resistant evergreen shrubs and is found in regions with a Mediterranean climate.
To find the answer, we need to determine which type of forest does not grow in Northern Eurasia. By process of elimination, the answer would be d. chaparral.
2. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the historical use of Siberian rivers for transportation.
a. Agricultural products: While rivers can be used for transporting agricultural products, this does not capture the primary historical purpose of Siberian rivers.
b. Lumber from nearby forests: This is a possible answer, as Siberian rivers have been historically used to transport timber from the surrounding forests.
c. People to nearby factories: This answer is less likely as there is no information suggesting the transportation of people to factories specifically.
d. Tourists to see the natural wonders: While tourism may be a contemporary use of Siberian rivers, it is unlikely to be the primary historical purpose.
Based on this analysis, it is reasonable to conclude that the correct answer is b. lumber from nearby forests.
4. To determine the most reliable account of an Azerbaijani demonstration for independence that turned into a riot, we need to consider the potential biases and perspectives of each account.
a. The account in a Soviet newspaper: This account is likely to be biased in favor of the Soviet government and may downplay any negative aspects or critiques of the demonstration.
b. The account of an Azerbaijani protester: While this account may provide valuable insights into the experiences and perspectives of the protesters, it could also be influenced by personal biases or limited knowledge of the entire event.
c. The account of a Swedish reporter: This account might be more impartial and less influenced by internal political dynamics or biases.
d. The account of a Muslim leader: This account could provide insights from a specific religious perspective, but may also be influenced by particular agendas or biases.
Considering these factors, the most reliable account is likely to be c. the account of a Swedish reporter.
10. To determine the answer, we need to understand the factors that affect economic activity in different regions.
a. Along the Indian coast: This is not a correct answer, as coastal regions often have economic activities related to ports, trade, and fisheries.
b. In areas of high population density: This is not a correct answer, as high population density often leads to increased economic activity due to market demand and labor resources.
c. Along the mountainous northern border of South Asia: This is a plausible answer, as mountainous regions can be challenging for economic activities due to limited accessibility, rugged terrain, and environmental constraints.
d. In the southern portion of India: This is not a correct answer, as the southern portion of India generally has significant economic activity, including manufacturing, services, and agriculture.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is c. along the mountainous northern border of South Asia.
20. To determine how Tanzania's government turned around the country's failing economy, we need to evaluate the options given.
a. Forcing people to move into towns and work on collective farms: This option suggests a coercive approach, which may not necessarily lead to sustainable economic growth or development.
b. Paying farmers a price for their crops that allowed them a profit: This option implies a supportive and incentivizing approach to the agriculture sector, which can contribute to economic improvement.
c. Creating government mining companies to mine the natural resources: This option suggests a state-led approach, but it may not address broader economic sectors or contribute to overall economic diversification.
d. Obtaining foreign loans that allowed the buildup of small industry: This option suggests a strategy of borrowing to invest in industrial development, which can contribute to economic growth, but may also increase external debt.
Based on the options, the most plausible answer is b. paying farmers a price for their crops that allowed them a profit.
Your answers:
1. D
2. Unsure (between A, B, and C)
4. C
10. C
20. B
Your answers are correct for 1, 4, and 10. However, for question 2, the correct answer would be b. lumber from nearby forests based on the historical use of Siberian rivers for timber transportation. For question 20, the correct answer would be b. paying farmers a price for their crops that allowed them a profit as it aligns with sustainable agricultural development.
