- 8. Multiple Choice
Referred to the table
Country A: it’s physiological density indicates that farmers do not have the technological resources to grow crops efficiently.
Country A: the large difference between arithmetic and physiological density indicates that it only has a little amount of good farmland.
Country A: it’s high arithmetic and physiological densities indicate that it needs to use a higher percentage of its land to grow crops.
Country B: it has an arable land percentage of 16.8, which is not sufficient for growing enough food to feed everyone.
Country B: the small difference between its arithmetic and physiological densities indicates it has ample good farmland.
