Question

6 using source 1 which of the following is the most likely effect of the population shift shown in the source? select the two correct answers. a an increase in environmental problems such as air and water pollution. b an increase in clean and affordable water from natural sources. c an increase in cost to the city to maintain and repair infrastructure. d a reduction in cost needed to run the city due to urban sprawl. e a reduction in technological advancements due to loss of tech jobs.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Population shift (likely urbanization) often leads to more pollution as more people/activities strain the environment, so this is valid.
• Option B: Population growth/shift would likely stress water sources, not increase clean affordable water, so invalid.
• Option C: More people mean more infrastructure use, increasing maintenance/repair costs for the city, valid.
• Option D: Urban sprawl increases costs (e.g., for infrastructure over a larger area), so "reduction in cost" is wrong.
• Option E: Population shift (especially to tech - hub areas) usually doesn't cause loss of tech jobs; in fact, it might boost tech, so invalid.

Answer:

A. An increase in environmental problems such as air and water pollution.
C. An increase in cost to the city to maintain and repair infrastructure.
