Answer 1

Select: the standard of living; the gross domestic product (GDP); the level of education citizens attain.

Explanation: development is measured by economic and social indicators such as GDP (often per capita), standards of living (income, health, housing, access to services), and education attainment. Election results and current weather/climate statistics are not standard measures of a country's level of development.
