1. To determine the best phrase that defines the term "development" in geography, we need to understand its context. In geography, development usually refers to the progress or improvement of economic, social, and human conditions within a specific area or region.
Looking at the provided options:
A. Improvements in economic and social outcomes: This option aligns with the concept of development in geography as it emphasizes the overall enhancement of economic and social conditions. It considers factors beyond just economic growth.
B. Improvements in gross national product: This option focuses solely on economic growth measured by the total value of goods and services produced by a country, which may not capture the broader dimensions of development.
C. Improvements in human rights: While human rights are an important aspect of development, they do not encompass all dimensions of development.
D. Improvements in construction: This option narrows down development to solely the construction sector, excluding other aspects like social and economic progress.
Therefore, based on the context of development in geography, the most appropriate answer would be A. Improvements in economic and social outcomes.
2. The United Nations (UN) determines levels of development in the Human Development Index (HDI) by using a comprehensive statistic that considers multiple factors. The correct option is:
A. The UN uses a statistic based on GDP per capita, longevity, and education: The HDI takes into account not only the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita but also factors like life expectancy and education level. These three indicators provide a broader understanding of a country's overall development.
B. The UN measures the wealth of a country and compares it to other countries: While wealth comparison may contribute to understanding development, it does not fully represent the approach used by the UN in the HDI calculation.
C. The UN conducts research on whether people have access to their basic needs: Although access to basic needs is crucial for development, the HDI incorporates additional dimensions beyond basic needs.
D. The UN determines whether people have basic human rights and freedoms: Human rights and freedoms are important but are not sole determinants of development in the HDI.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. The UN uses a statistic based on GDP per capita, longevity, and education.
3. Tertiary economic activities are those that involve the provision of services rather than the extraction or manufacturing of physical goods. The correct option is:
C. Office work: Office work, which includes various services such as administration, management, consulting, finance, and customer service, falls under the category of tertiary economic activities. These activities contribute to the overall service sector of an economy.
A. Mining: Mining is considered a primary economic activity as it involves the extraction of natural resources.
B. Manufacturing: Manufacturing is categorized as a secondary economic activity as it involves the transformation and processing of raw materials into finished goods.
D. Scientific research: Scientific research often falls under the category of knowledge-based activities and can be considered part of the quaternary sector, which focuses on advanced services relying on intellectual abilities.
