Answer 1

The correct response is:

both have declining death rates

In stages 2 and 3 of the demographic transition model, there is a significant decline in death rates due to improvements in healthcare, nutrition, and sanitation. Stage 2 is characterized by high birth rates and rapidly declining death rates, while stage 3 has declining birth rates and still low death rates. The other options do not accurately describe both stages together.

Answer 3

The correct response is:

both have low growth rates.

In Stage 1 (pre-industrial societies), both birth and death rates are high, leading to low population growth. In Stage 4 (post-industrial societies), although birth rates can be low, death rates are also low, resulting in a stable or very slow growth rate.

The other options do not accurately describe similarities between Stage 1 and Stage 4.
