To answer these questions and understand the concepts, here's how you can get the answers:

1. To understand what both colonialism and imperialism require, you can study their definitions and characteristics. Colonialism refers to the practice of one country ruling over another, usually involving the exploitation of resources and establishment of control. Imperialism is the policy or practice of extending a nation's power over other territories, either by direct conquering or through economic and political dominance. By understanding these definitions, you would realize that the correct answer is (d) one country ruling another country.

2. To find out what West Africans traded to North Africans for salt, you can study the historical trade routes and patterns between these regions. Salt was a highly valued commodity, necessary for preserving food and providing essential minerals. By researching the trade history of West Africa and North Africa, you would discover that the answer is (B) gold.

3. To identify one negative effect of the huge oil reserves in Nigeria, you can examine the environmental and social impacts of oil extraction and production in the country. Consider factors such as pollution, deforestation, desertification, and unemployment that are often associated with oil-rich regions. By evaluating these factors, you would arrive at the correct answer, which is (c) air and water pollution.

4. To determine the climate zone in which the Sahel is located, you can analyze its geographical location, climate patterns, and vegetation. Consider factors such as rainfall, temperature, and vegetation types to classify the region. By studying these factors, you would find that the Sahel is primarily located in the semi-arid climate zone.

5. To understand the term "arable land," you can study its definition and characteristics. Arable land refers to land that is suitable for cultivation or farming. It is land that has the necessary conditions for growing crops. By understanding this definition, you would recognize that the correct answer is (d) it is able to be farmed.

6. To determine when the Atlantic slave trade began, you can study the historical timeline of the trade routes and colonial powers involved. By examining the historical records and events, you would learn that the Atlantic slave trade began in the 1600s.

7. To verify the statement about desertification, you can study the causes and factors that contribute to desertification. Desertification refers to the degradation of land in arid or semi-arid areas, leading to desert-like conditions. By studying the causes, you would realize that desertification can occur due to various factors, not solely limited to cutting down trees. Thus, the statement is false.

8. To identify whether subsistence farmers grow only enough food to feed their families, you can study the definition and practices of subsistence farming. Subsistence farming refers to agricultural practices where farmers produce only enough food to meet their family's needs, with little or no surplus for trade. By understanding this definition, you would see that the statement is true.

By following these steps, you can independently find the answers to these questions while also gaining a deeper understanding of the topics being discussed.
