Section A: Urban issues and challenges
Question
- A. High natural increase rates in rural areas
- B. Government investment in rural infrastructure
- C. Limited rural employment opportunities
- D. Rapid urban job creation
Answer
The correct answer is Government investment in rural infrastructure.
Explanation
The correct option is Government investment in rural infrastructure. Government investment in rural infrastructure is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain factors affecting urbanisation rates including migration, push-pull theory and natural increase. 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 Urbanisation Factors
Students often confuse push factors with pull factors, thinking they are the same.
Remember that push factors drive people away from their current location, while pull factors attract them to a new location.
