Growth, Development, Resources & Long-Term Choices — Drills · Grade 12 Social Studies
Chapter: Global Connections, Risk & Economic InquiryWhat these drills covers
By the end of Growth, Development, Resources & Long-Term Choices you should be able to:
- I can separate output growth from per-person change.
- I can explain a civic or economic mechanism using evidence, assumptions, and a qualified conclusion.
4 questions, written answer, each with a worked explanation.
Vocabulary used: growth, development, intensity, sustainability, resource stock.
Problem 1
Answer and explanation
Population can rise proportionately. In the supplied case, 100/50 and 120/60 both equal two. The larger total does not establish higher average output per person or universal improved conditions.
Problem 2
Answer and explanation
Operation requires complementary resources, maintenance, institutions, and access. Spending records show inputs or acquisition, while service and outcome records show what changed. Explain the channel and actual use.
Problem 3
Answer and explanation
Output can grow enough to outweigh the efficiency change. The supplied intensity falls ten percent while total use rises eight percent. State both measures and examine the mechanism rather than transferring the ratio’s direction to the total.
Problem 4
Answer and explanation
State current and future costs, timing, distribution, uncertainty, relevant constraints, and alternatives. Define how the forecast would be tested. A predicted gain does not establish universal access or eliminate future risks.
