B. Thailand builds more public and private schools.
C. The gap between the rich and the poor widens in China.

Answer:
B. Thailand builds more public and private schools.
Explanation:
There are two main causes of illiteracy that many poor countries experience today :
- Lack of resources (this includes skill teachers, text books, school buildings)
- Even if the resource exist, many of them couldn't afford it.
This is why building more public and private schools could increase the country's literacy rate. The private schools was made to take students from family who can afford to pay for the cost of education. The money will be distributed to the public schools which were targeted toward students who came from poor economic background.

Answer:
The correct answer is D: political leaders could not claim they alone knew the will of God, since the Jewish teachings were written down for anyone to read.
Explanation:
Jews believe that God dictated the Torah, the central and most important document of Judaism, to Moses on Mount Sinai. They believe that the Torah shows how God wants Jews to live. It contains 613 commandments and Jews refer to the ten best known of these as "the ten 10 statements". The Torah includes Judaism’s written and oral law, i.e. all Jewish religious teachings throughout history. Everything is said there, everything a good Jew needs to know so as to act as God says. A Jew serves God when he learns the holy books and does what they say.
Yes it does because natural resources play a crucial role in deciding the shape and size of development in a country. The western countries are highly developed mainly due to profusion of minerals, vegetation, natural fishing harbours etc. Plenty of oil inside the earth in the Middle East and South America is major factor in economic development of countries of these regions. Countries free from frequent visits of natural disasters are likely to be more developed than those who face the fury of disasters much time a year. Bangladesh and Philippines are a case in point. The countries that are always beset by monsoon, floods and landslides face tough hurdles in building infrastructure and carrying out development. Factors like proximity to high mountains, deserts and wild forests hamper pace of development to a great extent.
