Question

which statement best describes how globalization connects the world?

globalization helps create new forms of transportation, communication, and technology
globalization helps expand old forms of transportation, communication, and technology
globalization helps mandate new forms of transportation, communication, and technology
globalization helps share old forms of transportation, communication, and technology

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Globalization is more about sharing and spreading existing or new developments rather than solely creating new forms (the focus is on connection through sharing/expansion, not just creation).
• Option 2: "Expand old forms" is not the primary way globalization connects the world. Globalization is about sharing and making accessible, not just expanding old ones.
• Option 3: "Mandate" implies forcing, which is not how globalization works. Globalization is a process of interaction and integration, not mandating.
• Option 4: Globalization involves the sharing of transportation, communication, and technology (both old and new) across the world, which helps connect different regions. This aligns with how globalization facilitates the spread and exchange of these elements.

Answer:

D. Globalization helps share old forms of transportation, communication, and technology
