To determine the correct answer to each question, we can break down the information given and analyze each option. Here's the breakdown for each question:
Question 1: Which of the following is true regarding emigration?
Option 1: Emigration results in an influx of talented people in underdeveloped countries.
- This option is generally false. Emigration typically leads to a loss of talented individuals from underdeveloped countries rather than an influx.
Option 2: Emigration can increase cultural diversity.
- This option is true. Emigration often leads to an increase in cultural diversity as people from different backgrounds and ethnicities settle in new countries.
Option 3: Emigration can increase unemployment rates in underdeveloped countries.
- This option is also true. Emigration can result in a brain drain and a decrease in the available workforce in underdeveloped countries, leading to increased unemployment rates.
Based on the given options, option 2 is the correct answer.
Question 2: The act of migrants sending money to their family in their home country is called?
- The correct term for the act of migrants sending money back to their home country is "remittances." Remittances play an important role in supporting families and communities in their home countries.
Question 3: What is the main reason people migrate?
- The main reason people migrate is often for economic opportunities. People may seek better jobs, higher wages, improved living standards, or escape poverty in their home countries.

Option 1: People in rural areas are more migratory than city dwellers.
- This option is one of the laws proposed by Ernst Georg Ravenstein, stating that people in rural areas are more likely to migrate than city dwellers. Therefore, it is not the correct answer to the question.
Option 2: Most international migrants are young women.
- This option is not one of Ravenstein's laws. While the statement might hold true in some cases, it does not reflect one of Ravenstein's general migration laws.

- This option is one of Ravenstein's laws as well. It states that most migration occurs in a series of small, step-by-step movements.
Based on the given options, option 2 is the correct answer.
Question 5: An example of ________ is the migration of lawyers and architects to the US after they have received years of government-financed schooling and training in India.
Option 1: Net Migration
