Answer:

A, a challenge for Medicare and Social Security

Explanation:

An aging population is a problem many developed countries face today. It occurs because of the demographic situation today: low or negative birth rates.

An aging population means that there are more retired than working people. The retired people don't pay taxes and many rely on governmental medical and social programs such as Medicare and Social Security. These programs have to be financed from public funds and the absence of taxes means there may be not enough money to cover for the expenses in the future.

What encouraged long-distance trade in the High Middle Ages?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The Crusades in the Holy Land introduced Europeans to Eastern goods.

Explanation:

Medieval merchants reopened and expanded contact with other parts of the world. In this way, they continued what European Crusaders had begun. Merchants and explorers traveled farther in the Late Middle Ages. This brought them back into contact with the people of Africa and Asia. Trade expanded, and they brought back goods and ideas from these lands. Some cities and communities formed groups for mutual defense of their trade and markets.
