Question

one factor that indicates a developed economys standard of living is its
○ growth in outsourcing rates.
○ strong social connections.
● high levels of education.
○ low gdp per capita.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "Growth in outsourcing rates" doesn't directly indicate standard of living (outsourcing can have mixed impacts).
• "Strong social connections" is more about social aspects, not economic standard of living.
• "High levels of education" is a key indicator of a developed economy's standard of living, as educated populations drive productivity and economic development.
• "Low GDP per capita" is incorrect, as developed economies typically have high GDP per capita.

Answer:

C. high levels of education.
