Question:
Which of the following statements is/are correct?
Options:
Countries with high levels of human development invest more in the social sectors and are generally free from political turmoil and instability.
Places with low levels of human development tend to spend more on defence rather than social sectors. This shows that these countries tend to be located in areas of political instability and have not been able to initiate accelerated economic development.
Both 1 and 2
None of the above.
Correct Answer:
Both 1 and 2
Explanation:
Countries with high levels of human development invest more in the social sectors and are generally free from political turmoil and instability. Distribution of the country’s resources is also far more equitable. On the other hand, places with low levels of human development tend to spend more on defence rather than social sectors. This shows that these countries tend to be located in areas of political instability and have not been able to initiate accelerated economic development.
