Question
- A. High-income countries (HICs)
- B. Low-income countries (LICs)
- C. Developed countries
- D. Post-industrial countries
Answer
The correct answer is Low-income countries (LICs).
Explanation
The correct option is Low-income countries (LICs). Low-income countries (LICs) is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to describe the global pattern of urban change. This belongs to Urban issues and challenges within Section A: Urban issues and challenges, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Urban issues and challenges, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Understanding Urban Change
Students often describe urban change as only occurring in specific regions without recognizing the global patterns.
To fix this, students should study urban change in a variety of global contexts, identifying similarities and differences across different regions.
