#2 is correct.
1. To determine the incorrect factor contributing to poverty in Africa, we need to analyze each option and identify which one does not fit.
a. long periods of drought and desertification: This factor is often seen in many areas of Africa and can lead to food and water scarcity, contributing to poverty.
b. a sudden decline in unemployment: This factor, if it occurs, would actually help reduce poverty by increasing employment opportunities and incomes. Therefore, this is the answer you have correctly identified as not contributing to poverty.
c. drastic increase in population leading to a shortage in available resources: Population growth can strain resources and make it difficult to meet the needs of the population, potentially contributing to poverty.
d. an inability to establish a diverse industrial economy: Lack of industrial diversification can limit job opportunities and economic growth, which can contribute to poverty.
2. To find the country where people, on average, make the least amount of money, we need to analyze the options.
a. Angola: The average income in Angola may not be the lowest compared to the other options.
b. South Africa: South Africa has a relatively higher average income compared to the other options.
c. Algeria: Algeria also has a relatively higher average income compared to the remaining options.
d. Chad: With the lowest average income among the provided choices, you have correctly identified Chad.
3. To determine the country that would most likely bring in the most per capita income, we need to analyze the options.
a. Zambia: Zambia is unlikely to have the highest per capita income compared to the other options.
b. Botswana: Botswana has a relatively higher per capita income compared to the remaining options. Well done on identifying the correct answer!
c. Algeria: Algeria might have a higher per capita income compared to some options, but it is not the highest in this case.
d. Chad: Chad is unlikely to have the highest per capita income compared to the other options.
Your answers:
1. b. a sudden decline in unemployment - Correct.
2. d. Chad - Correct.
3. b. Botswana - Correct.
