The biggest problem with the creation of the polders that are below the sea level is the flooding of the same.

Even though the polders are made very carefully, everything is well planned, and all the required measures of long term safety of them are put in action, still there's always the concern of flooding hanging around. Because the polders are bellow the sea level, if by some chance the sea manages to penetrate in them, probably after some natural disaster, than the whole polder will be filled with water and become one huge pool, and because of this water everything in it will be destroyed in just a matter of minutes, thus lots of human lives will be lost, and a huge economic damage will be made.

For the answer to the question above, I would say that the Netherlands was one good example of what are the dangers when creating polders that are below the sea level. The water always goes where there is a lower level of the land. That's when the flooding occurs. You can't have a flood on the mountain. Water will always find its way to lower areas of land.

The headlines below were taken from newspapers following natural disasters.

Elan Coil [88]

I believe the answer is C. This is because all three headlines include information about transportation systems (first one with air delays, second with road closures and third with roads being reopened) being effected by natural disasters.

Here are why the other ones are incorrect:

A. In headline 2 with Arizona, it states how wildfires caused road closures around the state and not the area of the wildfire (headline 1 also disproves this answer, since it says “Worst delays since 9/11”, meaning it effected a lot more than the nearby area).

B. None of these are predicting natural disasters occurred, as seen by some of the language: “Arizona Fires FORCE road closures” (present tense, not past).

D. These do not mention anything about railroads being immune, so it can’t be it.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

The modernization theory explains the process of transforming from traditional society to modern society and consist of the following processes-

(1) Technological advancement - Here, the traditional knowledge is replaced with modern techniques and scientific information proves the things.

(2) Development of agriculture - Since agriculture provides major source for advancement, new machines are brought in use that will increase the productivity to gain more benefits. There will a change from subsistence type of farming into modern farming with modern tools and technology

(3) Urbanization - due to uncontrolled migration from rural to urban, there is increase in the rate of urbanization

(4) Industrialization - Now human are replaced with machines

(5) Telecommunication - it includes digitalization the economy, better news broadcasting, entertainment etc.

All these processes have similarities and differences since they are all interrelated. Similarity is that all these processes lead to increase in profit that would further help in increasing per capita income and thus more productivity and better development. You can take an example of US economy which is highly advanced and has all these sub processes going on there .
