Answer 1

Based on historical context and the impact of colonialism on industrialization in many African nations, it is likely that Kenya would experience relatively lower GDP growth compared to the countries listed. The countries provided in the chart have varying degrees of industrialization and economic development, with Kenya historically struggling with economic growth due to factors such as colonial legacy, political instability, and dependency on agriculture.

Given this context, Kenya would likely fall at the bottom of the chart, indicating lower GDP change and growth compared to the countries listed.
