Question

5 using source 3, which of the following would best prove the validity of ravensteins theory? a in recent years, the majority of people who migrated moved to smaller rural areas and purchased land. b the majority of those who emigrated were older couples who ventured out looking for career opportunities. c the majority of people who migrated at this time settled in larger urban areas around the world. d the majority of people who migrate from this area are seeking religious asylum to avoid persecution.

Explanation:

Ravenstein's theory of migration emphasizes that most migration is short - distance and towards urban areas (larger cities) for economic opportunities. Option A says people moved to smaller rural areas, which goes against the theory. Option B's focus on older couples seeking careers is not in line with the typical migration patterns in the theory (usually younger people for jobs). Option D is about religious asylum, which is a forced migration reason, not the main type in Ravenstein's theory. Option C, where people migrate to larger urban areas, matches the key aspect of Ravenstein's theory about migration towards urban centers.

Answer:

C. The majority of people who migrated at this time settled in larger urban areas around the world.
