You're missing some answer choices.
Numbers 1 and 3 are wrong.
The answers choices that are missing were wrong. so it's out of those three.
1.C

1 is wrong
1. The answer to the first question is D. It means that there are fewer workers available to work in industrial jobs.
High subsistence agriculture is a characteristic of less developed countries because they often have a higher percentage of their population working in agriculture as a means of survival. This is because they may lack access to modern machinery, technology, and infrastructure that could facilitate a shift towards industrialization. As a result, the majority of the workforce is engaged in subsistence agriculture, leaving fewer workers available for industrial jobs.
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the options given and eliminate the options that are not directly related to the question. Option B, "It shows that the country uses less energy," is incorrect because the question is about subsistence agriculture, not energy usage. Option C, "It means that more people are unemployed or underemployed," is misleading because while unemployment and underemployment may be present in less developed countries, it is not directly linked to the high level of subsistence agriculture mentioned in the question. Option D, "It means that there are fewer workers available to work in industrial jobs," directly addresses the impact of high subsistence agriculture on the availability of workers for industrial jobs, making it the correct answer.
2. The answer to the second question is A. LDCs cannot afford to buy technology to develop their resources.
It is often hard for Less Developed Countries (LDCs) to use their natural resources efficiently due to various challenges they face. However, the most likely reason is that they cannot afford to buy the necessary technology and equipment required for efficient resource development. LDCs may lack the financial resources and access to capital needed to invest in technology, infrastructure, and training. As a result, they may struggle to maximize the potential of their natural resources.
To find this answer, you can analyze the options given and eliminate the options that do not align with the challenges faced by LDCs. Option C, "LDCs do not want to use technology to develop their resources," is incorrect as it implies a choice made by LDCs, which may not be the case. Option D, "The climate is often too harsh to allow them to develop their resources," may be a valid challenge in some cases, but it is too broad to be the primary reason. Option A, "LDCs cannot afford to buy technology to develop their resources," directly addresses the financial constraints that LDCs often face, making it the correct answer.
3. The answer to the third question is B. The movement of jobs to other countries can cause unemployment.
Globalization can sometimes cause job loss in developed nations because companies may choose to move their operations to other countries where labor is cheaper. This relocation of jobs can result in unemployment in the developed nations as workers are displaced. Companies may seek to take advantage of lower production costs, access to new markets, or other factors that can be found in foreign countries.
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the options given and eliminate choices that do not address the impact of globalization on job loss. Option A, "Globalization prevents companies from hiring more workers," is incorrect as globalization does not actively prevent companies from hiring more workers, but rather impacts the location of jobs. Option D, "Globalization forces workers to migrate to developed countries," is incorrect as it pertains to migration, not job loss within developed countries. Option B, "The movement of jobs to other countries can cause unemployment," accurately reflects the impact of globalization on job loss, making it the correct answer.
