Question 1 • W Geography_B_IC

Which of the following statements about the economies of the world is false?

Answer
A
The US economy is the largest in the world when measured per country.
B
Four of the top five economies, measured in GDP per person, are located in Europe.
C
The bottom five economies, measured in GDP per person, are located in Africa.
D
The US economy is the largest in the world when measured in GDP per person.

Explanation

The United States has the world’s largest economy by total GDP, but that does not mean it has the highest GDP per person. GDP per person divides a country’s total output by its population, and several smaller countries—such as Luxembourg—rank above the United States on that measure. Therefore, the false statement is that the US economy is largest when measured in GDP per person.
