Answer 1

The statement that accurately compares the economic impacts of the Great Depression in Northern Rhodesia and Burma is:

Both colonies’ exports and wages decreased.

This reflects the broader economic consequences of the Great Depression, where both colonies faced declining demand for their exports, leading to reduced wages and economic hardship for their populations. The other statements either overgeneralize or do not capture the specific economic conditions in both regions during that time.
