Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each category in World Systems Theory:

• World Systems Theory: The description "The world as a unit rather than looking at the individual countries" matches the definition of World Systems Theory, which views the world as an interconnected system.
• Core Countries: "Have a strong central government" is a characteristic of Core Countries, as they are economically dominant and have stable governance.
• Periphery Countries: "High percentage of poor and uneducated with very small upper class" and "Have weaker government due to only one type of economic activity" fit Periphery Countries, which are economically dependent and have high poverty/limited economic diversity.
• Semi - Periphery Countries: "Not dominant in international trade" is a trait of Semi - Periphery Countries, as they are in a middle position between Core and Periphery, not as dominant in trade as Core but more so than Periphery.

So the correct drag - and - drop would be:

• "The world as a unit rather than looking at the individual countries" → World Systems Theory
• "Have a strong central government" → Core Countries
• "High percentage of poor and uneducated with very small upper class" → Periphery Countries
• "Not dominant in international trade" → Semi - Periphery Countries
• "Have weaker government due to only one type of economic activity" → Periphery Countries

Answer:

• "The world as a unit rather than looking at the individual countries" → World Systems Theory
• "Have a strong central government" → Core Countries
• "High percentage of poor and uneducated with very small upper class" → Periphery Countries
• "Not dominant in international trade" → Semi - Periphery Countries
• "Have weaker government due to only one type of economic activity" → Periphery Countries
