Correct choices:
- A widespread lack of access to quality education.
- Economies that are based on subsistence agriculture.
- A history of having resources taken by colonizers.

Brief reasoning: Lack of education limits human-capital development and productivity; subsistence agriculture yields low incomes and weak economic diversification; colonial extraction often left weak institutions, depleted resources, and unequal economic structures that hinder development.
