Section B: The changing economic world
Question
- A. It leads to equal access to healthcare
- B. It causes disparities in health
- C. It improves overall life expectancy
- D. It reduces infant mortality rates
Answer
The correct answer is It causes disparities in health.
Explanation
The correct option is It causes disparities in health. It causes disparities in health is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain consequences of uneven development including disparities in wealth, disparities in health and international migration. This belongs to The changing economic world within Section B: The changing economic world, 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 The changing economic world, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Understanding Disparities in Health
Students often confuse disparities in health with disparities in wealth, thinking they are the same issue.
Focus on the specific factors that contribute to health disparities, such as access to healthcare, nutrition, and education, which may differ from those affecting wealth.
