Question
- A. Improved access to healthcare services
- B. Increased crime rates
- C. Higher levels of pollution
- D. Decreased housing availability
Answer
The correct answer is Improved access to healthcare services.
Explanation
The correct option is Improved access to healthcare services. Improved access to healthcare services is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to use a major city in an LIC or NEE case study to explain social and economic opportunities created by urban growth. 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
Misunderstanding Opportunities
Students often confuse social opportunities with economic opportunities created by urban growth.
Clearly differentiate between social opportunities (like improved education and healthcare) and economic opportunities (such as job creation and increased investment) when discussing urban growth.
