1. according to the passage, which feature is most likely found in a developing country?

o b access to modern technology
o c limited access to schools and hospitals
o d a strong economy and industries

Explanation:

• Question 11: A developed country typically has good healthcare. Since this country has poor healthcare, it cannot be developed. A developing country may have some industrialization (factories) and relatively high literacy but still lack in some areas like healthcare.
• Question 12: An increase in schools and hospitals shows an improvement in infrastructure and services, which is a sign of progress. Losing access to clean water, jobs becoming harder to find, and technology becoming less available are all negative signs.
• Question 13: Learning about both types of countries helps in understanding global differences and finding solutions for betterment. Comparing who is richer or deciding which country is best is not the main purpose. Making developing countries stay the same is not a positive or valid goal.
• Question 14: Developing countries often have limited access to schools and hospitals compared to developed countries. High - income jobs, access to modern technology, and a strong economy are more characteristics of developed countries.

Answer:

1. B. Developing, because not everyone has access to healthcare
2. A. The number of schools and hospitals increases each year
3. B. To understand global differences and find ways to improve life for everyone
4. C. Limited access to schools and hospitals
