Let's break down each question one by one:
1. **Which of the following describes a characteristic of a country moving from stage 2 to stage 3 of the demographic transition model?**
The correct answer is:
**(D) Declining death rate**
In the demographic transition model, Stage 2 typically features a high birth rate and a declining death rate due to improvements in healthcare and sanitation, leading to population growth. As countries transition to Stage 3, the death rate continues to decrease while the birth rate starts to decline, albeit at a slower pace than in Stage 2.
2. **The Malthusian view of the world argues that**
The correct answer is:
**(D) famine in developing countries can be explained by examining their patterns of population growth**
Thomas Malthus argued that population growth tends to outpace food production, leading to famine and resource scarcity. Hence, his view emphasizes the relationship between population growth and the availability of resources, suggesting that unchecked population growth can lead to famine.
3. **Which of the following best explains the significant difference in North Africa’s demographic data from the rest of the African continent and North Africa’s closer similarity to global demographic data?**
The correct answer is:
**(A) North African improvements in nutrition, health care, and sanitation have reduced birth and death rates as well as improved life expectancies over time.**
North Africa has seen improvements in health care, sanitation, and nutrition, which contribute to lower birth and death rates and higher life expectancies, making its demographic data more similar to global trends than that of Sub-Saharan Africa.
