Question

Half of a certain European country’s population works in agriculture and manufacturing. This country is most likely located __________.
A.
along the coast
B.
on the Scandinavian Peninsula
C.
in Western Europe
D.
in Eastern Europe

Answer 1

Answer:

D.  in Eastern Europe

Explanation:

A. is not the right answer. Agriculture is not the main source of food and earnings for those living along the coastline.

B. is not the right answer. Scandinavian soil is not the best for agriculture, due to cold temperature. Also, countries on the Scandinavian Peninsula are quite rich, and most people have different kinds of jobs.

C. is not the right answer. Countries located in Western Europe will more likely have a population that works in different fields, businesses, industry, STEM, and culture.

D. this is the right answer. Agriculture has an important role in the countries of Eastern Europe. Not only the soil here is usually good for crops, but these countries are also still in the transition period, and many people live off what they get on their small farms. There are loads of rural poverty here, and people often live off non-traditional capital, sharing their goods from the farms and fields.
