Question 1 • W Geography_B_IC

Which of the following is not a factor that would lead us to believe that Dublin is a primate city in Ireland?

Answer
A
Almost half of Ireland’s population lives in or around Dublin.
B
No universities are located in Dublin.
C
Dublin provides almost half of Ireland’s GDP and is home to the country’s busiest port.
D
Dublin is the capital city of Ireland.

Explanation

A primate city is much larger and more influential than other cities in its country, often concentrating population, economic activity, and political power. Dublin’s population and GDP concentration, busy port, and status as the capital all support that idea. The claim that no universities are located in Dublin does not: Dublin has several universities, so choice B is not a factor supporting Dublin as a primate city.
