Question

Which statement about the impact of Australia's location on trade and commerce is NOT correct?
A.
The majority of Australia's major trading partners are located in Asia due to the proximity of the two continents to one another.

B.
Domestic tourism accounts for nearly 75 percent of tourist revenue due to the costs associated with traveling to Australia's remote location.

C.
Due to the fact that the continent is surrounded by water, most manufactured goods have to be acquired from Australia's overseas trading partners.

D.
Because the continent is located far from the equator, low annual temperatures force Australians to import many of the agricultural products that they need.

Answer 1

D.

Australia is not "far from the equator" in a way that causes low annual temperatures — much of the continent is tropical or temperate — and Australia is a major exporter (not importer) of agricultural products. The statement about cold forcing agricultural imports is incorrect.
