Answer 1

The first table.

- Congo Free State: Belgian exploitation of people and land to extract rubber is accurate.
- Cuba: Imperialism tied Cuba into a sugar-export economy that required heavy investment (leading to foreign debt and economic dependency), so the statement about costs leading to debt best matches the impact.
