D. poor economic performance
To find the answer to the first question, we need to understand the natural resources that could have attracted other nations to trade with West and Central Africa around AD 750.
In this case, the answer is C. gold.
To determine this, we can look at historical records, trade routes, and archaeological evidence from that time period. Gold was a highly sought-after resource, and West and Central Africa had significant gold reserves. European, Arab, and other nations were drawn to the region for trade and to acquire gold.
Now, let's move on to the second question. To find the answer, we need to think about how people have adapted to the environment of West and Central Africa.
The answer is A. They do not cut down trees to make more arable land.
To determine this, we can consider the characteristics of the environment in West and Central Africa, including the tropical rainforests and the importance of preserving the ecological balance. Cutting down trees would disrupt the delicate balance of the ecosystem and have negative consequences for the environment. Therefore, people in this region have adapted by not cutting down trees for expanding arable land.
Lastly, let's address the third question. We need to identify the factors that have made it difficult to maintain a stable government in Algeria.
The answer is B. violent Islamic extremists.
To find this answer, we can examine the historical context and recent events in Algeria. Algeria has been facing challenges in maintaining a stable government due to the presence of violent extremist groups with Islamic ideologies. These groups have engaged in acts of terrorism and insurgency, posing a threat to the stability and security of the country.
