Explanation:

Question 1

Globalization generally brings benefits like better communication, increased trade with stable prices and product variety, and improved living standards. Option b describes negative outcomes (increased poverty, genocides) which are not benefits of globalization, so it's the exception.

Step1: Analyze export value

From 2015 to 2018, the export value of tobacco from North Carolina is $712 million (2015), $689 million (2016), $619 million (2017), $576 million (2018). This shows a decreasing trend.

Step2: Analyze % share

The % share is 2.4 (2015), 2.3 (2016), 1.9 (2017), 1.8 (2018), also decreasing.

Step3: Evaluate options

• Option a: Says expanded, but values are decreasing. Incorrect.
• Option b: Says decreased as an export. Matches the decreasing value and share. Correct.
• Option c: Says increased income, but value is decreasing. Incorrect.
• Option d: Says remained stable, but values are decreasing. Incorrect.
