<h2>Answer: (C) Polaris does not rise nor set</h2>

Explanation:

In the northern hemisphere the star \alpha Ursae Minoris , located in the constellation of the Little Bear (Ursa Minor in latin) is the polar star (known as Polaris).

This is because this star is currently located very close to the Earth rotation axis. That is why when observing the sky in the north direction, being in the northern hemisphere, Polaris will seem immobile in the middle of the rest of the stars.

However, it is necessary to note that \alpha Ursae Minoris  will not always be the polar star, because each year the Earth's totation axis moves approximately one degree, which will cause another star (\gamma Cephei ) to take the place of Polaris within many years.

What two obstacles do less developed countries face? How do they approach development?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

<em>Developing countries two major issues, of low incomes and eventually lower tax collections.</em>

Explanation:

Obstacle 1: Developing countries usually have a population with a low income. There are a lot of poor people, very few businesses are documented and there are very few well established larger corporations.

Obstacle 2: Lower income results in a low tax collection for the country. This means that the government is not able to meet its basic infrastructure resulting in underdeveloped health facilities and basic infrastructure.

In order to improve this, they look for either foreign direct investment into their country or take out loans from international banks to fund basic needs.

If done well, countries can escape from poverty. However if loans are mismanaged, countries can quickly find themselves burdened with rising debt and more poverty.
