Answer:

B) Kuwait has a much smaller population than Saudi Arabia.

Explanation:

While it may seem that more barrels of oil would equal a higher standard of living, that is not necessarily the case. In the example here, Kuwait produces less oil per day than Saudi Arabia but has a higher standard of living. One good explanation for this is that Kuwait has a much smaller population than Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has over 27 million citizens compared to Kuwait's 2.7 million. The GDP per capita in Saudi Arabia approximately $31,000, while in Kuwait it is over $42,000

Oksanka [162]
I think the best answer is B. Chinese culture influenced Japan in the areas of religion, writing, and technology. China, being in close contact with Japan even before, had many influences in Japan. They imported a very big rang of ideas, techniques of production and institutional models from China. Through these, new rice growing techniques and handicraft production were developed by Japanese as early as the Yamato period.
