Question

This map shows global variations in the fertility rate in 2014. The legend gives the number of children born per woman that year. If the trend continues, how will the likely effect on the food and water supply in region 1 compare with the likely effect in region 2?

Answer 1

B. Demand for basic needs will increase in region 1 faster than in region 2.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B-Demand for basic needs will increase in region 1 faster than in region 2.

The fertility rate was much higher in region 1 than in region 2 in 2014. It means that in West Africa Region born more children per woman that in North America.

We can infer that if the trend continues, the basic needs like food and water supply will increase faster in West Africa than in America.

Other needs like clothes, health care, education probably will increase too, so it is important to improve the economy in that region to be able to supply all that needs.  

The potential of economic growing of that region can be faster too if they had a healthy economic system.
