Question

Which resource is not a significant contributor to South America’s economy?
Gold
Copper
Petroleum
Zinc

Answer 1

While gold, copper, and petroleum are significant contributors to South America's economy, zinc is not as prominent in comparison to these other resources. While it has some economic importance, particularly in countries like Peru, it does not carry the same level of significance as gold, copper, and petroleum. Therefore, zinc is the least significant contributor among the options provided.
