Answer 1

Stages 2 and 3 of the demographic transition are similar in that **both have declining death rates**.

In Stage 2, improvements in healthcare, sanitation, and nutrition lead to a significant drop in death rates, while birth rates remain high. In Stage 3, birth rates begin to decline as societal changes occur, but death rates remain low, continuing the trend of decline from Stage 2.
