The statement is true.

In Italy, according to the latest ISTAT (Italian National Institute of Statistics) surveys as of 1 January 2017, young people up to 14 years old are almost 100,000 less than in 2016 and represent 13.5% of the total. People over 65 years of age are increasing by 160,000 and now represent 22.6% of the population. Demographically speaking Italy is still one of the countries with the lowest birth rate in the world; in 2016 the average number of births per woman is estimated at 1.34, down compared to 1.46 in 2010, which represented the highest value since 1984. In 2016, life expectancy for men was up to 80.1 years and for women it was of 84.7 years. So we can see an aging population (almost a quarter of the population belongs to the older adults group) with a high life expectancy, just like the statement said.

About Niger, according to the statistical information of the CIA World Factbook, the population of Niger estimated to 2010 is 15 306 252 inhabitants, of which 49.6% are in the range 0 to 14 years, 48.1% between 15 and 64 years and 2.3% with more than 65 years. Life expectancy is 44 years and the average of children per woman is 7.37, the second highest rate in the world, which is causing a population increase never seen in the history of this poor country. In the same way, its birth rate is the highest in the world, with 51.6 births per 1000 inhabitants, although the mortality rate is also high, ranking eighteen worldwide with 14.83 deaths per thousand inhabitants. Infant mortality is one of the highest in the world, with 116.66 deaths per 1,000 inhabitants, and its life expectancy is one of the lowest. So in this case the statement is also correct.

This is true - Italy has a aging population which is expected to life long - as is the case with most post-industrial societies, while Niger on the other hand expects its people to live not as long and at the same time has a younger population.

Answer:

C.) While both the Ottoman Empire and Western European states relied heavily on forced conversions to expand and maintain their empires, the Ottoman Empire remained more religiously tolerant than the Western European empires.

Explanation:

I got this question right on the first try. Here's why I knew it was C. You would need to have some knowledge about the Ottoman Empire's role of religion. I don't know if it says in the passage, so if you do find it, then give me a heads up. Remember, how did the Ottoman Empire treat the minorities? Did they force persecution/conversion to Islam? Well, not really. Although they did develop the devshirme system, it was kinda of a force conversion because the children had to give up their Christian belief, but it was seen as an opportunity. They weren't punished, so answer A is not right. So they did practice religious tolerance. Also the Ottoman Empire tried to expand the empire to make it bigger as well. There wasn't any religious wars carried out the Ottoman Empire, and answer B does not make sense. Where in the passage does it say about those two empires having efforts of doing mass conversions. Look at Source 2. Sorry if this explanation is long, but I hope this helps :)

6. How do you explain the fact that so much more is known about Cenozoic Earth and life history than about the previous interval
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Precambrian time, period of time extending from about 4.6 billion years ago (the point at which Earth began to form) to the beginning of the Cambrian Period, 541 million years ago. Precambrian time encompasses the Archean and Proterozoic eons, which are formal geologic intervals that lasted from 4 billion to about 541 million years ago, and the Hadean Eon, which is an informal interval spanning from 4.6 billion to 4 billion years ago. The Precambrian represents more than 80 percent of the total geologic record.
