Question
- A. It decreases local employment opportunities.
- B. It generates income and creates jobs in local communities.
- C. It leads to environmental degradation.
- D. It increases reliance on foreign aid.
Answer
The correct answer is It generates income and creates jobs in local communities..
Explanation
The correct option is It generates income and creates jobs in local communities.. It generates income and creates jobs in local communities. is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain strategies used to reduce the development gap including investment, industrial development, tourism, aid, intermediate technology, fairtrade, debt relief and microfinance loans. 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
Misunderstanding Development Strategies
Students often confuse different strategies used to reduce the development gap, such as mixing up the roles of aid and investment.
To fix this, students should clearly define each strategy and understand its specific role in reducing the development gap.
