The second assumption is that there is something exceptional about Africa, that while other continents and peoples have got or are getting richer, Africans, for reasons we can think but no longer speak in polite company, choose to remain in poverty. Our capacity to see Africa as divergent lets us off the hook so we don’t have to understand our own complicity in the challenges various African countries face today. It also means we rarely rage as we should against the actions of the corporations and governments that profit from instability, corruption or even inexperience (African negotiators at the climate talks have historically been disadvantaged by their lack of experience and the expectation among western negotiators that they should be grateful with whatever they get).
If there is, then, no innate propensity for corruption, violence or poverty in Africa, then the narratives that fuel the stereotypes need questioning. One possible explanation comes from the Nigerian author Chinua Achebe, who said: “The west seems to suffer deep anxieties about the precariousness of its civilisation and to have a need for constant reassurance by comparison with Africa.” Perhaps it’s not Africa that needs saving, but us.

Answer:
A. At constant humidity, relative humidity increases as temperature decreases.
Explanation:
Weather can be defined as the atmospheric conditions of a particular area over a short period of time.
The elements of weather include precipitation, wind, temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, cloud, and wind speed.
Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of coldness or hotness of a physical object (body).
The relationship between temperature and relative humidity is that at constant humidity, relative humidity increases as temperature decreases.
I would say that herding and livestock would not be a major economic activity in SE Asia and that logging, farming and manufacturing are important economic activities. For example, farming produces rice and also tea in this part of the world.
