You're welcome.
To determine the correct answers to these questions, let's break them down and explain the reasoning behind each answer choice.
1) Which of these is a natural result of specialization?
A) Isolation is caused by specialization.
B) When people specialize they become rich.
C) Specialization leads to interdependence. ***
D) Specialization leaves people worse off than without
The correct answer is C) Specialization leads to interdependence.
Specialization refers to individuals or regions focusing on producing specific goods or services. This results in an increased efficiency and productivity as people become experts in their specialized fields. As a natural consequence, specialization leads to interdependence because people need to rely on others who specialize in different areas to fulfill their own needs. For example, a farmer specializes in growing crops and relies on a mechanic to fix their equipment or a doctor to provide medical services.
2) Why were the Europeans able to drive Australia's Aborigines off the best land and into the dry interior?
A) The Europeans paid the Aborigines a large amount of money.
B) The Europeans had better military technology and equipment. ***
C) The Aborigines were nomadic and did not stay in one location.
D) The Aborigines were easily able to farm and graze sheep there.
The correct answer is B) The Europeans had better military technology and equipment.
During European colonization of Australia, the Europeans had superior military technology, such as firearms, artillery, and organized armies, which gave them a significant advantage over the Indigenous population. This technology allowed them to exert control, establish settlements, and push the Aboriginal people off the more desirable lands into the less habitable, dry interior of the continent.
3) Which country has/had a strong mixed economy?
A) Cuba
B) Australia
C) North Korea
D) Soviet Union***
The correct answer is D) Soviet Union.
A mixed economy refers to an economic system that combines elements of both a market economy (where resources are allocated based on supply and demand) and a command economy (where the government controls the allocation of resources). While all democratic countries have some level of mixed economy, the Soviet Union had a particularly strong mix of market and command economy. The government had substantial control over the means of production and resource allocation, which defined their command economy aspect. At the same time, they also had elements of a market economy, such as limited private ownership and entrepreneurial activities within certain sectors.
