Section A: Urban issues and challenges
Question
- A. A city with a population over 1 million
- B. A city that is a major financial center
- C. A city with a population over 10 million
- D. A city that has undergone significant urban regeneration
Answer
The correct answer is A city with a population over 10 million.
Explanation
The correct option is A city with a population over 10 million. A city with a population over 10 million 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.
