Question

which is the best example of a country that is dependent on other countries?
○ a country that has little fertile soil
○ a country that has no imports
○ a country with grain surpluses
○ a country with a diverse economy

Explanation:

To determine the best example of a country dependent on others, analyze each option:

• "A country that has little fertile soil" would struggle to produce enough food (e.g., crops) domestically. It would need to import food or agricultural products from countries with more fertile soil, showing dependence.
• "A country that has no imports" is self - sufficient (or at least not dependent via imports, though this is unrealistic in most cases, but by definition, no imports means no reliance on others for imported goods).
• "A country with grain surpluses" can export, so it's not dependent for grain; it may even be a supplier.
• "A country with a diverse economy" is less likely to be dependent as it can produce a wide range of goods/services internally.

So the country with little fertile soil needs to rely on others for food/agricultural products.

Answer:

a country that has little fertile soil
