Question 34 • TX-World Geography Studies

Which of the following generalizations about development is false?

Answer
A
Countries with high GDP generally have higher development.
B
Countries that struggle economically generally struggle in social welfare areas as well.
C
There is only one way for geographers to measure development.
D
Most nations in Western Europe are considered to be developed.

Explanation

Development is measured in several ways, including income or GDP, education, health, and overall quality of life. So the claim that geographers have only one way to measure development is false. The other statements are broad generalizations that are generally true: high-GDP countries tend to have higher development, economic hardship often coincides with social welfare challenges, and most Western European nations are considered developed.
