My Answers (in order) D, A&E, B, C, E,B

1. When geographers describe the world’s four population clusters, which of the following is NOT among their common features?

To answer this question, we need to review the four population clusters and identify the feature that doesn't belong.

The four population clusters are:

1. East Asia: It includes China, Japan, and the Korean Peninsula. Features include fertile soil, temperate climate, and proximity to the ocean.

2. South Asia: It includes India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Features include fertile soil, temperate climate, and proximity to the ocean.

3. Europe: It includes most countries within Europe. Features include fertile soil, temperate climate, and stable governance.

4. Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada: Features include fertile soil, temperate climate, and proximity to the ocean.

Based on this information, we can determine that the feature "stable governance" is NOT among their common features. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Stable governance.

2. A geographer is researching sustainability in a region with an emphasis on the food supply. Which methods of calculating population density would this researcher want to compare in her analysis? Select the two correct answers.

To answer this question, we need to understand the different methods of calculating population density and determine which ones are relevant to the researcher's focus on the food supply.

The methods of calculating population density are:

1. Arithmetic density: This is the total population divided by the total land area. It gives a general sense of how crowded or dense an area is.

2. Physiological density: This is the total population divided by the amount of arable land. It provides insights into the pressure on the available agricultural resources.

3. Agricultural density: This is the total rural population divided by the amount of arable land. It focuses specifically on the distribution of the agricultural population.

Based on the researcher's focus on the food supply, the two methods of calculating population density that she would want to compare in her analysis are:

A. Arithmetic density and agricultural density: Arithmetic density provides an overall measure of population density, while agricultural density focuses specifically on the agricultural population, which is directly relevant to the food supply.

C. Arithmetic density and agricultural density: Similar to option A, this combination allows the researcher to analyze both the overall population density and the distribution of the agricultural population.

Therefore, the correct answers are A and C.

3. Examine the figure. Which of the following statements accurately represents a conclusion that could be drawn from the figure in considering the relationship between the world’s population in 1950 and the world’s population in 2015?

To answer this question, we need to examine the figure and analyze the relationship between the world's population in 1950 and 2015.

Without the figure provided, it is difficult to provide a specific answer. However, based on the given options, the most accurate conclusion that could be drawn from the figure is:

C. The world’s population grew rapidly, then slowed: This conclusion suggests that there was a period of rapid population growth between 1950 and 2015, followed by a decrease in the growth rate.

4. Which of the following is a result of China’s cultural preference for sons over daughters that also affects population?

To answer this question, we need to consider the cultural preference for sons over daughters in China and its impact on the population.

The correct answer is:

C. A surplus number of men who are unable to find women to marry: China's cultural preference for sons has led to gender imbalances, with a larger number of men compared to women in the population. This surplus of men has created challenges in finding suitable marriage partners.

5. Examine the population pyramid. The left side shows the distribution of males in the population, while the right side shows the distribution of females in the population. Which of the following statements accurately represents a conclusion that could be drawn from the figure?

To answer this question, we need to examine the population pyramid and draw conclusions based on its characteristics.

Without the population pyramid provided, it is difficult to provide a specific answer. However, based on the given options, the most accurate conclusion that could be drawn from the figure is:

E. The Gambia has a low elderly support ratio: A population pyramid with a narrower top indicates a lower proportion of elderly individuals in the population, suggesting a lower elderly support ratio.

6. Sex ratio helped geographers determine

To answer this question, we need to understand the role of sex ratio in geographic analysis.

The correct answer is:

B. That many female babies in India and China are missing: Sex ratio is used to determine the imbalance in the number of males and females in a population. Geographers have found that in certain countries like India and China, there is a significant imbalance, with a higher number of males compared to females, indicating the occurrence of female infanticide or selective abortion practices.
