a lack of petroleum
a lack of electricity
a lack of coal

question 10
which of the following is an important reason for large pockets of urban poor?
lack of cultivable land
abundant food imports
high unemployment

Explanation:

For the first question, early industrialization often relied on coal as a major energy - source. South America had relative scarcity of coal in the early industrialization period compared to other regions. For the second question, high unemployment means fewer people have income - generating jobs, leading to large pockets of urban poor. Lack of cultivable land affects rural areas more directly in terms of poverty related to agriculture, and abundant food imports do not directly cause urban poverty.

Answer:

First question: a lack of coal
Second question: high unemployment
