Great job! Here are the correct answers to your questions:
1. The Palestinians were left without a homeland as a result of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948. (Answer: C)
To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate options a and b as they are not relevant to the situation where Palestinians were left without a homeland. Option d is also incorrect because it states the percentage of Jews in Palestine, which does not directly address the issue of Palestinians losing their homeland. This leaves us with option c as the correct answer, as the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 led to the displacement of many Palestinians and their loss of a homeland.
2. The Balfour Declaration stated Britain's support for the creation of a Jewish national home in Palestine. (Answer: B)
To find this answer, read through the options and use your knowledge of history. Option a is incorrect as it assumes the declaration suspended the rights of Arabs. Option c is incorrect as it suggests the declaration supported an Arab country in Europe, which is not the case. Option d is also incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the content of the Balfour Declaration. Therefore, the correct answer is option b.
3. In Israel, large quantities of potash are extracted by evaporating the water from the Dead Sea. (Answer: B)
To determine the correct answer, analyze the options and consider your knowledge of natural resources in Israel. Options a, c, and d can be eliminated since desalination plants, the Sea of Galilee, and the Jordan River are not known for potash extraction. The Dead Sea, however, is renowned for its high concentration of minerals, including potash, so option b is the correct answer.
4. Israel has transformed the Negev Desert into a mostly fertile green land primarily with the use of improved irrigation. (Answer: D)
To arrive at this answer, consider the techniques used to transform desert land into fertile areas. Option a can be eliminated because artificial rainfall is not a primary method of transforming deserts in Israel. Option b, crop rotation, is also not primarily responsible for the transformation of the Negev Desert. Option c is unlikely as bringing topsoil from seaside locations would be an impractical and costly endeavor. This leaves us with option d, improved irrigation, which has played a crucial role in making the Negev Desert more fertile.
5. After 1948, more than half the Jews immigrating to Israel were generally the poorer Sephardic Jews. (Answer: A)
To determine the correct answer, consider the immigration patterns of Jews to Israel after 1948. Option b, Ethiopian Jews, can be eliminated as their immigration occurred later. Option c, European Jews, is also unlikely as many European Jews were already residing in Israel before 1948. Option d, Russian Jews, is incorrect as their immigration mainly occurred during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This leaves us with option a, Sephardic Jews, who predominantly immigrated to Israel after 1948 and often faced economic challenges.
Well done! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
