Social Studies Paper 1 Marathon with Mrs Wilson from Ballys Tutor Professionals

So, it was not record. It is now recording. apologize. All right, let's get back to it. So, I'm now seeing it is recording there. Thank you, Shanika. What is one effect of teenage pregnancy? Decrease strain on the wider family. enhance educational opportunities for teenage parents. Ccreased chances of getting job or interrupted education. So which of which one is an effect of teenage pregnancy? Din interrupted education. Which factor contributes to substance abuse? Educational success. We know that's not correct. Financial stability. We know that's not correct. Sorry. Peer pressure. Or Strong social support. The answer is peer pressure. which of the follow so before continue you'll notice that we go we are doing questions in order of how the syllabus is so we started off with family and now we're looking at social issues which of the following is potential solution to address juvenile delinquency encouraging disrespectful behavior. We know for sure that's incorrect. That could never be solution. Giving the family more rights to discipline children. That sounds good. limiting access to parenting classes. That could never be solution as well. Or providing opportunities for training and education. The answer is providing opportunities for training and education. so right now don't think there's any limit to how much family could discipline their children. So that would not be an option there. But it would be cuz we're looking at we're looking to help the juvenile themselves and it would be providing opportunities for training and education. What type of institution is an insurance company? We know the types of institutions. We have economic, education, health and religious, I'm sorry, economic, education, religious institutions, insurance dealing with money. So it is the bank sorry economic what went on there? What is the function of educational institutions? So what's the purpose of school? to ensure the all round development of the human resources. to make laws and policies for society. to provide goods and services or to socialize individuals to interact with each other. The answer will be because socialization begins in the family. So the purpose of the function of educational institution is not necessarily that they are the ones to socialize individuals. It happens because people are interacting but it is to ensure an all round development of human resources or people. Which of the following is not an agent of transmission for the transfer of cultural heritage? So here we're looking at mediums or agents that could transfer cultural heritage. We have artists, institutions, mass media or sports teams. So we know artists can be an agent for transmitting of cultural heritage by what they do. Institutions such as education, even religious institution passes on cultural heritage, mass media, using television, social media, papers, the press that can be an agent of transmission of culture. And so the answer will be Sports team cuz they're going to play the sport. They're not there to to highlight the culture of country or the country that they come from. Next question. Which of the following does not refer to the customary behaviors and traditions that are widely accepted by an institutions by an institution? Sorry. folkways, moors, norms or rules. The answer is rules. So because the question is saying which does not refer to to customary behaviors and traditions. So things people are accustomed doing not written guidelines that they have to follow. So the answer is rules. friendship group is anam. So we're on groups now. friendship group is an example of primary formal group, primary informal group, secondary informal group or secondary informal group. So because the answers are primary and formal or informal we just try to remember okay we know primary groups are small groups face toface interaction secondary is larger than primary group they may not know each other we know formal groups is group that have written rules and regulations there's usually leader in formal groups happen more casually there isn't any rules or regulations so based on friendship group that persons know each other Well, however, it doesn't have leader or set rules and guidelines or reg or regulations to follow. So, it will be be primary informal group because remember formal group is has leader, rules and regulations. Informal group happens more casually. doesn't have leader, doesn't have rules and regulations to follow. And also if you're not getting the answer correct and you don't understand, please stop me so I'll explain how we arrive at particular answer. Five people in marble game best illustrates either an informal group, formal group, peer group, voluntary group. So let's do the process of elimination method. So we know not voluntary group and we know it's not peer group because they don't have the five persons playing the game of marbles don't have to be around the same age. So we have to look at an informal or inform or formal group. So does the marble game have leader? Does it have hierarchal structure? No. It's persons who probably have three or four marbles and they say let's play marble. So the answer will be an informal group. Next question. formal group has the following characteristics. and them symbols and pleasures. youths, scouts and leaders. rules, goals and leaders. people, money and officers. We know what formal group is. They have rules, regulations. They have leader. They have goals that define the group. So the answer will be Rules, goals and leader and leaders. An informal group is usually large, permanent and organized. We know for sure, nope, that's not an informal group. small, casual, and spontaneously formed. That sounds like an informal group. homogeneous, cooperative, and distinct. That doesn't sound like an informal group. and functional, practical and prestigious. We know that is not an informal group. So the answer there is obviously small, casual and spontaneously formed. What are the formal written guidelines that are enforced by governing authority in group called the hint here is governing authority that's how we will know if it is laws moss rules or sanctions. So because this they use the term or they would have indicated that it's governing authority. The answer is laws. How does social control contribute to the overall functioning of group? So we know that social control is the the means used to get members to behave in certain way. So the question is saying how does this social control contribute to the overall function of group? by discouraging cooperation and collaboration among members. So saying they don't want to have it make sure that there's no cooperation. So that's what is saying. By ensuring adherence to group rules and expectations. by minimizing the influence of group norms and values or by promoting individualism and personal freedom. So based on what we know social control is the answer would be by ensuring adherence to group rules and expectations. So very good for what I'm seeing in the in the chat so far. Which of the following facilitates group cohesion? We know that group cohesion is where groups work together or stick together. So what can what which of these options here encourages groups to want to stay together and to work together? We have commitment and loyalty. So that sounds like it will help group or facilitate group cohesion. So we know one or is one of them. Cooperation two, we know that is one of them as well. Democratic leadership, people in group want democratic leadership where they can be heard. So three is also part of that. And then four we have strict sanctions. So based on the the cor the the options one two and three will best facilitate group cohesion. So the answer is 1 2 and three. Next question we are going into government. Choosing government through the democratic process is allowed by an autocratic leader, democracy, dictatorship, or tyrannical leader. If you didn't know about the democratic process just because the question says democratic pro process the answer that looks very close to democratic process is democracy. So that's another way too the answer will be But based on the fact that we know all these things we have this knowledge of what it means we will choose because we know democracy is the answer. So the answer is What is meant by the democratic process in choosing government? So the question before was choosing government through the democratic process is allowed by democracy. And this one is saying what is meant by democ the democratic process. We know it means that you are able to choose government through free and fair elections. That is the knowledge we have. So, let's see what the option says. the freedom of the electorate to stay home on polling day. We know that's wrong cuz they're not exercising democratic rights. choosing government through free and fair elections. So, that sounds like democratic process in choosing government. the independence of the judiciary which has nothing to do with choosing the government and the freedom for any number of political parties to contest an election. So that isn't it doesn't matter how much they're talking about here how the dem what what is the democratic process deck and it will be choosing government through free free and fair elections. Which of the following is not type of government system? We know the government systems. We know the three. So that means we will be able to choose our answer quickly. It says here not we know the three types of government systems crown colony constitutional monarchy and republicanism. So obviously our answer is Executive. So executive is not type of government system. But what is the executive? Can somebody in the chat tell me executive falls under what? So it is not under the type of government system but it falls under what mean? Is it the type of government? Not the type of government but it falls under the branches of government. Do we know the three branches of So do we know Yes. Do we know the three branches of government? No. Is it legis legislative execute? Executive. Executive and judiciary. Judiciary. Excellent. Do three branches of government. Executive, judiciary and legislative. Good. So we know that executive is not type of government system. Which of the following countries is presidential republic? So this means that which one of these republican countries has the president as their head of state and head of government. it is. So, I'll say it again because because I'm seeing the answer in the chat, but I'll say it again. So, with the presidential republic, this is where the president is the head of state and also the head of government. And there's only one country in the Caribbean region that has this type of or is this type of republicanism? The answer is Guyana. So in Guyana, the president is both the head of state and the head of government. So when we look at the structure of the republic or republicanism, we see that Guyana has different structure from the other countries that are republic. The bicameal legislature is made up of cabinet and senate, house of representatives and senate, opposition and government, parliament and cabinet. So here what may have been the hint would have been bicameal. So you know it's two but all the options have two in it. So when we look at the bicameal legislature we're looking at the houses of parliament which is the upper house and the lower house and we know the terms for upper house and lower house is house of representatives and senate. So very good done it. The answer is House of Representatives and Senate. Under Crown Colony Government power was vested in the hands of the Governor, Assembly, Executive Council, or the Monach. So those answers supposed to be just flying in the chat there because we know that the crown colony government the Monac is or was the head of or the yes the head of that government that type of government system. So the answer is the monarch. The most important difference between monarchi and republic as experienced by some of the Caribbean republics is the governor is replaced by governor general, the prime minister is head of state, the president replaces the monarch as head of state or the people elect their head of state. So they would have indicated few hints or few cues here. So they said the most important difference between monarch and republic as experienced by some because we know that Guyana has different republicruct republicanism structure. So the governor is replaced by governor general. So we know that is incorrect because in republic that governor general title is or has been removed. The prime minister is head of state which we know it is not correct or not true for some or most of the Caribbean republics. The president replaces the monarch as head of state and the people elect their head of state. We know that in most Caribbean republics the people do not elect the head of state who is usually the president who is the head of state. So the answer is The president replaces the monarch as head of state. Next question. The head of state in blank is president. Is it constitutional monarchy, crown colony, dictatorship, or republic? We know in the constitutional monarchy the head of state is the governor general. We know in the crown colony it's the monarch. dictatorship is an obviously wrong answer. So it has to be As we know in republic the president is the head of state. So the answer is The members of parliament who are not in the ruling party form one of the following either the cabinet, the Senate, the opposition or the ministry. So the members of parliament who are not in the ruling party, do they form the cabinet? No. Because the cabinet is made up of persons in the ruling party. Do they make up the Senate? No. Because the senator is made up of persons who have been appointed by both the government, the opposition and the president. So it's not obviously. So the answer is The opposition. They form the opposition. Senators in Trinidad and Tobago are nominated by all of the following except the. So we're looking for that word except. So we know that senators in Trinidad and Tobago are nominated by the prime minister, the opposition leader and the president. So the except there will be be the electorate. The electorate in the country do not nominate senators. Which one of these statements is correct? The speaker is the head of state. The queen is the monarch of the republic. Cabinet includes opposition members. Laws are made by parliament. So let's look at the options. We know that is incorrect because the speaker is not the president. So that is incorrect. They ask which is correct. the mon the queen is the monach of the republic. We know that is incorrect because when country becomes republic or even before republic when they became an an independent nation they separate ties with the monarch. So we know that is incorrect. cabinet includes opposition members. We know that is incorrect because cabinet are formed from the the winning or the governing party. So it has to be the well not has just has to be but we know it is the laws are made by parliament. So the answer is What is the role of the opposition in the legislature? okay. Sorry, that one already have the answer. to which so it says to provide checks and balances to the government. So let's look at the other options. to enforce court decisions that the that has court the court system has nothing to do with the legislature. So we know that's incorrect to interpret the constitution. no to propose and pass laws. They can't pass the laws they could propose. So that is incorrect. the legislature to provide check and balances to the government. What they mean here is that we know that the legislature is what we know as parliament. So when the government or the governing party proposes their policies, it is in parliament or in the legislature where it is debated, where questions are asked and answered. So that's why they mean what what they mean to provide checks and balances because they have to answer or they have to give reasons or they have to justify what they are doing in parliament or in the legislature. The legislative function of government deals with providing social services, controlling the military, the making of laws, maintaining law and order. So we know that the legislative function it does not provide social services that is the role of the cabinet through their policies in the various ministries controlling the military. that has nothing to do with parliament as well. The making of laws definitely because this is where they come together to suggest or to propose laws and not the maintaining of law and order which is part of judicial the judicial function. So is the making of laws. Parliamentary debates are permanently recorded in the newspaper, encyclopedia, white paper, or the hands. Fine. People stop responding the chats. Come on. What's the answer there? Where's the answer? So it's the the hand. So that's the record of everything that happens in parliament. Everything that happens in parliament is recorded in the Hansad. So you can Google Hansad April 1999 and everything that April Yeah. And for that entire month or you could choose date you will see what happened in parliament that day. So that's use that's called the hands. What does adult suffrage mean? We know that adult suffrage means that once you reach the age of 18 you have the right to vote. So let's see which options here match what we know. All adults over certain age have the right to vote. Only adults with certain level of education can vote. Only adults with high incomes can vote. Only adults with property can vote. So based on what we know, the answer is All adults over certain age, we know that ages 18 have the right to vote. The ideas and plans of political party if it wins an election are outlined in constitution, gazette, manifesto or newspaper. So that document that the political party gives out or shares with persons before the election is had is given in manifesto that's what we call it so in their manifesto they tell you what they plan to do if they are elected first pass the post system refers too. So we know first pass the post system. In this system the country is divided into constitutions and persons vote for the candidate of the constitu constituency to which they belong. So we know that. So let's see what the options are saying. the first person to cast vote on polling day. So that's incorrect cuz that's not what we know is the first pass to post. The first polling station to count the votes cast. Also incorrect. Not what we know. The candidates who collect the majority of votes in constituency. And the first time the people in country went to the polls. So based on what we know first party post system refers to, is the closest answer to what we know. So the entire sentence will read first party post system refers to the candidate who collects the majority of votes in constituency. Which of the following is not true about the proportional representation system? Not true. Again you see the question you're going to your your memory with no proportional representation. The whole country is treated as constituency. The party puts out list of candidates and you vote for the party and not particular candidate. We know this system is practicing Guyana. So we know all of this. So let's see which is not true. political parties put up list of candidates. So we know that is true because we know that. seats are allocated according to the percentage of votes party gets. We know that as well. So you win the proportion of seats you win, that's where you get in in the parliament. See, the candidate that has the most votes wins the election. That doesn't sound true because we don't you don't vote for candidate, you vote for the party. and the whole country is single constituency. We know that is how it is treated. So the answer is The candidate that has the most votes wins the election. Next question. ballot describes. So for those who are have not gotten to age to vote as yet or were not able to vote when you go to vote they give you something known as ballot paper and this is where you will see the candidates in terms of first party post system. You will see the candidates for your constituency and this is where you go to cast your vote secretly and you fold up your ballot paper and you cast your vote. So that is what ballot paper is. So let's see. public opinion poll. You know that's incorrect. system of government. We know the system of government. system of voting secretly or the right of every adult to vote. So the answer is system of voting secretly. Because with the ballot or the ballot and or the ballot paper, nobody should see or know who you vote for because it's done in secret. So the answer is system of voting secretly. Next question. What is one responsibility of voters on election day? So on election day for those who are not of age to vote as yet, you take your ID card and you go to your polling station. You present your ID. They look for your name. Once your name is on the list at that polling station, they then go through the procedure for you, give you ballot paper and all of that. What you can't do on election day, you can't or you're not supposed to wear any colors affiliated or any like how they have the jerseys with the the print on it. You're not supposed to wear any that is affiliated with political party because again your voting is done in secret. You're not supposed to go there shouting slogans or singing the the songs for the political party that you want to vote for or anything like that. So let's see. bringing valid identification, ignoring the voting process, shouting slogans in the polling station, wearing specific color. So the responsibility is to bring valid identification. What role do public opinion polls play in elections? So we know that public opinion polls is where sometimes it could be reporters just political analysis. They talk to people, the citizens, the electorate to find out like how they feel about political party and from that they can gauge who has the majority support and all of that. So let's see what role the political public sorry opinion polls play in elections. they determine the final election results. It can't determine the final election results because people could say one thing and then go to the go and vote another way or Yeah. They encourage voters to change who they vote for. No, they're just asking their opinion. they help candidates to understand voters preferences or they prevent candidates from participating in elections. So even if you did not know because just told you what public opinion polls are. If you did not know you could do the process of eliminations the they prevent candidates from participating in election. So we know that is incorrect to determine the final election results which is also incorrect because you can't determine it before you actually have the voting process. So for sure those two answers and are out. public opinion polls can't encourage voters to change who they vote for because this is where you are finding out from the people what they think. So the answer will be They help candidates to understand voters preferences. Next one. floating voter describes person who from our knowledge we know floating voter is someone who does not have any loyalty or affiliation to one particular party. So that means they could decide to vote. They don't know who to vote for and they could decide to vote for anybody at on the day of elections. So let's look at our options. Has decided not to vote. So that is not what it is. is approaching voting age now is unsure of who to vote for or moves constituencies. So the answer based on what we know floating voter is the answer will be floating voter describes person who is unsure of who to vote for. Which of the following factor influence voters participation in elections? So we're looking at something that could influence voters to participate. So we have the opposition has conducted fair campaign. the views of young people under 18. businesses funding the ruling party or the manifesto of party. So we know that it is not because we don't have the the knowledge or we don't know that they would have conducted fair campaign. one and two having fair campaign doesn't mean that I'm going to be influenced because everybody could be having fair campaign be the views of young people under 18 they have no say because cannot vote persons under 18 they cannot vote so they that can't influence how me who can vote votes businesses funding the ruling party, how they conduct their campaign can't influence either or shouldn't, but the the manifesto of the party cuz remember we looked at what manifesto is and this is the plans that if that party wins what they will do. So the answer there is the the manifesto of party. Which term refers to document that outlines the fundamental principles and laws of government? cons authoritarian, constitution, democracy or manifesto. So we're looking at the laws and principles of government. So the answer is the constitution. This is where the rules and laws of country is outlined. bill becomes an act when it is signed by. So we know bill is the proposed proposed law. That's what it's called. It's called bill. And for it to become law, it has to be signed by judge, the head of state, the leader of cabinet or the the leader of the opposition. We know that from our knowledge we know that it has to be signed by the president based on the options the president will fall under be the head of state. So the president is the head of state. So bill becomes an act when it is signed by the head of state. And even if there is if it is not republicanism we talking about whoever is the head of state of the country could be the governor general or somebody was think somebody last marathon said in Grenada there's governor general who is the head of state said so good Rachel yes whatever title the head of state holds that is who it is signed by to become an act. The re the main reason for making laws is to keep all police officers occupied, make the government stronger, establish state of emergency or maintain order and stability in the society. So we know the purpose or the reason for making laws will be to maintain order and stability in the society. Which of the following cases may be tried entirely in magistrate's court? We know under the judiciary branch of government, the courts fall under that branch of government. We know the different court system. We have the magistrates court. We have the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, Privy Council or the Caribbean Court of Justice and at each court different cases are tried at these courts. So let's see if we can remember in terms of the magistrate's court we have for both minor and major cases. So we can move from theft to murder. So, let's see. company declares bankruptcy. So, that will have nothing to do with the magistrate's court if your company didn't make it. person is accused of murder. person wishes to file for divorce. youth is accused of stealing. So we know it's not Also we should know it's not because it goes to the high court or the Supreme Court. So the answer there is youth is accused of stealing because with the magistrate court. So while yes the person accused of murder the case starts off in the magistrate's court but when they get the sufficient evidence and all of that it moves up. But where user is accused of stealing that the entire case can be heard or tried in the magistrate's court? Which court is the highest appalate court in the Caribbean region? We have the civil court, the high court, the privy council or the magistrate's court. So we know the highest court is based on the options it will be the preview council but we know for the Caribbean region we have the Caribbean court of justice or the CCG but based on the options that are presented the highest appalate court there is the preview council when there are labor disputes the workers resort to the something court. Is it industrial, magistrates, supreme or appeal court? So we know any matter between an employer and an employee is dealt with in the industrial court. Next question. Why is the independence of jud of the judiciary important for good governance? So it it allows the judiciary to be influenced by political pressure. So we know that's incorrect. You could one time start to eliminate the options. it ensures fair and impartial legal system that upholds the law. it promotes corruption within the judiciary. it restricts citizens freedom of expression. So the answer there is It ensures fair and impartial legal system that upholds the law even if again when you read the question and you can like think that you'll come up with correct answer do the process of elimination there are obviously wrong answers there so you eliminate those and you will get your answer so it's en ensures fair and impartial legal system that upholds the law. The local government of district is the parliament, regional corporation, community center, or ruling party. We're looking at local government. So we know that the answer is regional corporation. All of the functions, all of the following are functions of local government except looking at that word here except maintainance of recreational grounds, markets and cemeteries, sanitation and public health, building and maintainance of minor roads and bridges or the collection of income tax rates and custom duties. So we know the local government or the regional corporation is actually responsible or has the functions of maintaining recreational grounds of sanitation and public health that is picking up on disposal of garbage building and maintainance of minor roads and bridges. So we know that is function but we know that their function is not to collect income tax rates and custom duties. So except person can become citizen of another country by all of the following except. So we're looking at except again. birth, naturalization, marriage to citizen, or formalization of refugee status. So you can become citizen by birth. You can become citizen by naturalization. So this is where you may have lived in the country for certain number of years or your parents are citizens of that country. So you are able to become citizen. marriage to citizen. You can become citizen. So it is the formalization of refugee status. The greatest asset of any country is the natural resources, industrial growth, petroleum industry or the people. want to see this those answers flooding the chat for this question here. The greatest asset of any country Yes. So the greatest asset of any country is the the people. What term relates to the study of population? We have democracy, demography or demography, ethnography or geography. So the answer is Demography or demography is the study of population. Population refers to the number of people migrating from country, in the labor force, born in particular year or in geographic area. So population refers to the number of people in geographic area cuz it can be the population of town, city, country. It just depends on where they are, the area that they are in. good knowledge of the distribution of the population of country may be obtained from census, government official, the immigration department or the registration office. So how do we know or what where do we get knowledge of the distribution of population? Thank you Britney. census sex ratio in country's population refers to the proportion of woman to young women, old men to young men, males to females or old men to young men. So when we're looking at the sex ratio is the ratio of male to female. Thank you, Josara. Which of the following defines dependency ratio? So we know what is dependency ratio from our knowledge. Dependency ratio is the amount of working people or the amount of nonworking people to the compared to the working people or the labor force. So we know it has to do something with working and non-working. So let's look at our options. the average number of children born to each woman and woman man in country. So no. the difference between the number of people immigrating and the number of people immigrating. So we know no as well. the number of deaths across group or population over certain time. We know that's incorrect as well. and the number of non-working people in population compared to working age adults or the labor force. So because we know the penalty ratio deals with working and non-working, the answer is The number of non-working people in population compared to working age adults or the labor force. Next question here. Which of the following factors does not influence population density? So we know that population density is where people live. So which of the following or in matter of fact where people live that would be population distribution but population density will be how much people living in an area or country. So we have birth rates death rates immigration or occupation. So we're looking at which does not influence how much people live in in our area or somewhere it would be the thank you and Analise occupation. So people working does not influence how much people living in that area. Next question. In 2022 St. Kits and Neas had population of 47,657. The area of the land is kilome squared. What is the population distribution in inhabitants per kilometer squared? So we need to know how to calculate population distribution. Does anybody know the formula to calculate population distribution? Anyone? So will give you the formula and would like you all to answer it. So the formula for population distribution is the total population divided by the area of the land. So again the formula population the total population divided by the area of the land. So let me see my colors in the chat with that simple mathematical question there. All right. So, let me see who was first. Britney, the answer is I'm not too sure now if you are allowed your calculators in the social studies exam, but before they they used to allow it, but you have to remember these formulas and well, okay, somebody's asking me to repeat the formula. It's the total population divided by the area of land. So population distribution is the total population divided by the area of land. No problem. Great. Next question. Which combination of factors will bring about population changes? When we looking at the change in population, we know that the three main things that causes population to change is birth, deaths, and migration. So let's look at our options. So we have birds one, two, we have debts, three migrations, and four extended family structures, which we know have nothing to do with population change. So let's look for our options one, two, and three. So that answer there is Good, Jenny. What do populations What do population pyramids not measure? So we looking at that keyword again not we know with the population pyramid immediately you see question like this in your mind you pull up population pyramid in your mind we know that it shows age we know that it shows the sex male female we know that it shows the number of persons as well so let's see what it says it does not measure age groups ranges is gender, population distribution. So based on what we know the population pyramids measure, we know that the answer is Population distribution. What does the term mortality rate indicate? When we looking at mortality, we're looking at persons dying or death. So let's look at the options. So keep that in mind. So we look at the options. the number of births per 1,000 individuals in population. the number of deaths per 1,000 individuals in population. the number of individuals entering population through immigration. Or the number of individuals leaving population through immigration. We know mortality deals with death. So the answer that has that in it is The number of deaths per 1,000 individuals in population. So the answer there is An excess of births over deaths is called if there are more birds than deaths. natural increase, natural decrease, population explosion or excessive births. So we know that the answer is natural increase. Because the population is increasing naturally. Births is natural thing. An excess of deaths over births is called either fertility rate, an aging population, population explosion or natural decrease. If we know that births causes natural increase. Obviously with deaths an excess of deaths over births would be the natural decrease. How is death rate calculated? So here they they are asking you for the formula for death rate. Anytime. So I'll just put this plug in here. Anytime you're looking at the rates, birth deaths, migration of population, they always measure it per 1,000. So that is hint. So based on we know that it's per 10,00 and they ask again about deaths. So number of births over the total population by 1,000. We know that's incorrect cuz they're saying here the number of births. We talking about the death rate. the number of deaths over total population by 100. While this is close, would have just indicated that it's done per thousand. So that is incorrect as well. the number of deaths over the total population by 1,000 or the number of deaths over total population by 10,000. We know it is number of deaths over the total population by 1,000. person leaving his or her own country to settle in another is. So when we looking at persons either leaving or coming in country, we know it's one migration. But how do we distinguish the two? usually say the hint is the the spelling with the immigration meaning in. So persons coming into country and the one with this with immigration we could say stands for exit. So it means persons leaving country. So the question is person leaving his own country to settle in another is an immigrant, an immigrant, refugee or an illegal immigrant. So based on what just said it would be an immigrant because the person is exiting the country. The difference in the number of people who immigrate and immigrate is known as. So this is the formula in written format. So immigration minus immigration gives you what? population decrease, net migration, population increase or natural increase. The answer is Net migration. So the the formula for net migration is immigration, that's the one with the minus immigration, the one with the Which of these is not an example of forced migration. So we know forced migration is where persons will forced to leave their country. So they're asking here for not we're looking at this key word as well. What is not an example of force making persons have to leave. So leaving country because of natural disaster that is force migration an example of force migration because the entire country could have been destroyed or damaged all of that. So you have to leave be leaving country because of conflict. So for example conflict could be war you have to leave your country because you are not safe. So that will that is an example of forced migration. leaving country due to crime rates and political trouble that is form of forced migration because you feel threatened or leaving country to join family in another country. You're not necessarily forced to do so. So the answer is leaving country to join family in another country. All of the following are characteristics of urban societies except so again we're looking at this word here except so not. So we know that urban societies are tongues and cities. So let's look at the characteristics and we see which is not characteristic of urban society. So proper infrastructure, low levels of crime, high pollution levels or high density of population. So which is not characteristic of urban societies? The answer there is Low levels of crime cuz we know in urban societies there's lot of crowding and all of that. So is the correct answer there. family migrating to new society can have all of the following except. So again looking at except here that's what they're asking for that is not broader experience in the new society. children who accept permissive practices of the new society. conflict between their values and those of the host society. non assimulation of the cultural values of the host country. So if you are migrating to new society, you can have broader experience in the new society. So that is part of it. Children who accept permissive practices of the new society. Well, yes, because they now live and belong there. So they accept the norm or the practices of that society. Conflict between their values and those of the whole society definitely because you might have different values and the society that you are now in it may be different from yours. So that is where the conflict will come about. So the answer is Non assimulation of the cultural values of the host country. Next question, which of the following are migration pull factors? So we know with pull factors, those are the factors that will attract you to the another country. So let's look at the options. Better quality of life that will definitely pull or attract persons to another country. Closeness to family members that will attract persons as well to another country. Employment opportunities. You have better employment opportunities. So that will attract you or pull you to another country and higher quality of education that as well will pull or attract you to another country. So the answer is all of the let's look at the next question. People migrating for work purposes at certain times of year is known as employment migration, seasonal migration, temporary migration or tourism. So you're migrating for work and it's specific times. So it's be seasonal migration in Trinidad. Raml moved from Shaguanas to live in point 14 where he is employed in the natural gas plant. So he moved from one place in Trinidad to another place in Trinidad. The above is an example of internal migration, external migration, social mobility or brain drain. So movement within the country is known as internal migration. Next question. Richard leaves good job in Trinidad to migrate to Canada. This is an example of unpatriotic behavior, decisions, international migration, foreign interference or decision. So he moves from one country to another country which is outside of the region. So this is international migration. Next question here. Migration of skilled people from country is referred to as we know this. So in my chat let me just see you all answer this. Migration of skilled people from country is known as what? Very good anal brain drain. where you have persons leaving skilled persons leaving country is known as brain drain. Next question. country is said to be overpopulated if the resources outstrip the demand for them cannot maintain the population. are not exploited by the population or are sufficient to maintain the population. So let's look at what we know over population to be. Overpopulation is when there are not enough resources to meet the needs of the population. So the answer that fits closely to that is if the resources cannot maintain the population which is So overpopulation again is where the resources are not sufficient for the population or cannot meet the needs of the population. Which of the following is not problem caused by overpopulation? So we're looking at not problem. pollution definitely, diseases and especially the quick spread of diseases. low level of education or employment. The answer is employment. It is not problem caused by overpopulation. Next question. Which of the following is not again that word not way to solve the problem of overpopulation? extend and intensify agriculture. So mean I'm finished reading the options. We will go back to what each will mean for over population. invest in new industries. encourage migration in other countries. or cut back on economic development. So when we look at it says to extend and intensify agriculture. This will solve the problem of overpopulation because persons will now have to move to perhaps rural areas where agriculture is is done and where the jobs are available there. So we could deal with the population of over we could deal with the problem of overpopulation in in the like urban areas or the cities. invest in new industries. This could solve over population as well because when you invest in new industries again persons will more than likely move closer to to where they can get employment and this will cause the overpopulation problem like in cities areas to be decreased. Encourage migration to other countries. Well, or cut back on economic development. Cutting back on economic development is not way to solve the problem of overpopulation. So, cut back on economic development is the answer because yes, when you encourage people to move to other countries, it will solve your problem. But cutting back on economic development is not way to solve overpopulation. Optimum population is said to exist where there is. So we're looking at optimum population. This is where there is sufficient resources and there is ade the population is able to make use of the resources that are available. So the resources available the population available they make use of it sufficiently. So this is what is optimum population. So let's look at these options to see which is the closest to what we know as optimum population. So, the highest level of productivity in the service industry, the highest level of productivity in the manufacturing industry, all members in the labor force are employed or the greatest national output per head of the population. So the answer there is because this is where the resources the population makes use of the resources. So the answer there is Next question. An increase in the population of country through migration can lead to all of the problem following problems except. So we're looking at this word here except. So employers paying low wages to migrants. decrease in the level of unemployment. strain on the economic resources and social services of the host country or competition for jobs between migrants and citizens. So let's look at the question again. An increase in the population of country through migration can lead to all of the following problems except we know that yes there will be competition for jobs between migrants and citizens. We know that it can have strain on the economic resources and social services of the host country. We know also that employers can pay low wages to the migrants. So the answer is decrease in the level of unemployment. It doesn't mean because we have persons coming in the level of unemployment will decrease. No, more than likely it will increase. Which of the following are not benefits of self employment? So we know that self employment when you work for yourself and all of that good stuff. So let's look at the options. One, regular set income. So we're looking at what is not. Which of the following are not benefits? regular set income. So this already is not benefit because working for yourself things could be different every month. Two, holiday and sick pay also. Three, managing your own workload and working hours. So we know this is benefit of self-employment. And four, maternity pay. So the answers we're looking for or the answer option that we're looking for has to have 1 2 and four which is So is the answer there. Which of the following factors may contribute to unemployment in country? So just somebody was asking in the chat which paper is this? when started would have indicated because know that you all would have been doing past papers all the time. what would have done, would have gotten pool of questions and just created one document as opposed to just doing past paper January 2023, June 2024. So, it's just pool of questions. So, it's not specific past paper question because you all have been I'm very sure persons here may have already done from since probably 2000 straight up to now in past papers. So, you all know it. You all are familiar with it. So, would have just pulled questions from all over to create one document. Will be sending the document? If it is necessary, can. That won't shouldn't be problem. Right. So, let's continue. Which of the following factors may contribute to unemployment in country? So, what could cause unemployment in country? One, struggling economy for sure. So let's hold that one in mind. Two, lack of available jobs. Yes, this could contribute to unemployment. Three, lack of skills definitely could contribute to unemployment. And four, too many people train in one area which can also contribute to lack of unemployment. So the answer is all of the above. What type of education focuses on behavior ethics and being responsible? That would be moral. Anything you see talking about behavior ethics, it's moral. So it's the answer is Which of these is not looking at the word not benefit of being employed? reliable regular reliable monthly salary. That is definitely benefit. freedom to decide working hours. Well, don't know where some people work, but regular employment. You you can decide your working hours. holiday pay. Yes, definitely are benefit. And sick pay another benefit as well. So the answer is Freedom to decide working hours. Another question here. Sema is university graduate in civil engineering. She is employed as an office secretary. Which term best describes her position? So the options are overmployed, unemployed, employed, and under underemployed. So we know in terms of overemployed means that you don't have the qualifications for the job that you are working in. So you were employed let us say for instance all you have is an entry level. So you probably just finished CEC but you got position that would have required mast's. You are overmployed. So, we know it's not that. be unemployed. It says that she is employed. So, we know that that is not correct as well. Employed, that just doesn't make sense there cuz she is employed as an office secretary. And the undermployed, which means that she is more qualified for the position that she holds. So, the answer is indeed she's undermployed because it means that she is more qualified for the position that she holds. So it is Which of the following is disadvantage of being selfemployed? All losses borne by the business belongs to the owner. That sounds like disadvantage. The owner does not have the freedom to make policy decisions. What if I'm the owner? could make any decisions. There are lengthy legal formalities in setting up business. If you want to do it, you will. And the market for the product or service provided is always in the neighborhood. The answer, of course, is All losses borne by the business belongs to the owner. That is the greatest disadvantage of being selfemployed. Unemployment can be reduced by increasing agricultural production, importing more food, the creation of technology and industries or encouraging and inviting more immigrants. So let's look at the options. Let's start with If you encourage and invite more immigrants that means unemployment will increase because you have now have more people competing for jobs. says the creation of technology and industry. If technology is introduced then the employment rate could increase because we don't need persons. We have technology. We just need somebody to either flip switch or control something from their phone or their laptop. So it wouldn't be reduced. It could it could increase because you're replacing the human effort or the human work by technology. importing more food. That doesn't make any sense there. or increasing agricultural production. If you increase agricultural production, it will indeed reduce unemployment because now you can hire people in different aspects of the agricultural production. So the answer is what type of workers are farmers? We have primary, secondary, tertiary or cinaries. So for each one primary type of worker this deals with the extraction of raw materials. Secondary looks at the production of the raw materials that were extracted by the primary industry. Tertiary workers provides services and quartinary deals with services in terms of research. So the answer would be because they are looking at the extraction of raw materials. People who work in factories are called blank workers. So would have just said what each one before was. So the answer would be the secondary workers which looks at the production of the raw materials from the primary industry and that is what factory worker is. They get the raw materials and they produce it into something. What set of jobs belong to tertiary industry? So as said before tertiary industry deals with providing service. So let's see we have canning fruit refine refining oil or building. We have farming, mining, fishing. We have research analysis or communications. And we have tour guide, chef and nursing. So the answer will be the option that provides service which is sorry Looking at research analysis no. So the answer is Providing service because quartinary will be Somebody tampered with my answer sheet here. So the answer is Tour guide, nursing and chef cuz as said before tertiary deals with providing service the one with the research analysis and communications that would be quartinary. So just okay. So look we have question here. Quartinary. The quartinary sector consists of workers in the first stage of production of good, work who use raw materials provided by the primary sector, highly skilled workers such as computer programmers or workers involved in providing services for the secondary sector. So in my zoom chat here the first one workers in the first stage of production of good which sector that falls under. First stage of production of good primary. Very good. Primary Workers who use raw materials provided by the primary sector. Which sector? This will be secondary. Secondary. Good. Highly skilled workers such as computer programmers. Quinary. Good. And Workers involved in providing services for the secondary sector. Tertiary. Tertiary. Excellent. So the answer is Highly skilled workers such as computer programmers. Which of these lists contains only renewable resources? We know that renewable resources are those that when used can be replenished and replaced. So which of these here contains renewable resources? fish, oil, timber, sand, boxite. Do we only have renewable resources there? No, we do not. because oil and boxite is nonrenewable. hydro power, coal, sunlight and wood. Do we only have renewable resources there? All right. So, let me see what's happening in my chat. Let's go to see solar power, gold, asphalt, and coffee. We don't only have non-renewable renewable resources there because gold is nonrenewable resource. and sugar, banana, forest and wind power all of which are renewable resources. So the answer is So this is the list that only contains renewable resources. Which of these countries is not one of the greater antilles? Not. So, as you would have noticed from last year 2025, they are bringing geography questions looking at placement of Caribbean islands. So, you should and you must know the where the Caribbean islands are, what belong to the greater antelles and the lesser antelles. So we know the greater antelles are the larger islands those more to the north which is Cuba, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Haiti and then we have these smaller islands coming down from the north side there which includes Trans Tobago, Grenada, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, all of those other islands. So which is not one of the greater antelles we have Cuba, Dominica, Haiti and Jamaica. We know that the answer is Dominica. Toro please map. What is this map? remember this came last year in the first the first at first format changing the format and some teachers didn't teach the students this aspect and lot of children were lost. So this map is map that shows how population is the population on map they use. So the answers say the options here is similar to dot map. It shows population density. It does not show population distribution shows the seas which surround the country. So obvious wrong answer is is another obvious wrong answer because it does show population distribution. So the answer is It shows population density because it shows like how much persons are in an area not accurate like dot map but it uses like light coloring, dark coloring, different colors to show the population density. Going into regional development, sustainable development is defined as protection and conservation of the environment. The benefits which the use of technology brings to the manufacturing sector. introducing programs which will bear fruits into the future. Implementing building codes which will help to withstand hurricane and earthquakes. We know that sustainable development is preserving for the future generation making use sufficiently of what we have now for the benefit of the future generation. So it is obviously protection and conservation of the environment. Which of the following is the best example of sustainable development? Programs which limit the size of families? Introducing solar energy to generate electricity. Reducing the food import build bill. Putting plans to curb foreign investments. So here we we know sustainable development is making good use or proper use of our resources so that it will have for the future generation and the answer here will be introducing solar energy to generate electricity that means you're using making proper use of the resources which will be beneficial for future generations. How does climate change impact human health? We know that climate change is dangerous because it looks at global warming is consequence of global warming and all of that. So how does it impact human health? Decreased risk of infectious diseases which is not correct. enhanced food security which is not correct as well. improved air quality. We know that is not what climate change done does and increase health heat related illnesses. This would be correct because consequence of climate change is global warming and that is where the hole in the ozone layer is becoming bigger and more heat is the heat rays or the sun rays are being able to directly make contact with earth and all of that. So we know it's heat related illnesses. How does high level of indeepness impact the development pro prospects of Caribbean nation? So how does the high level of indeepness or being or owing impact development prospects of Caribbean nation? So what impact does owing high levels have on Caribbean nation? It encourages investment in infrastructure projects. We know that's incorrect cuz if you're owing people, it can't encourage investment. It increases foreign aid and assistance. That's incorrect as well because if you are owing high large amount of money, other people does do will not want to invest. It limits the government's ability to invest in education and health care because you don't have the money that the country is making has to go back to payback. So you can't do what you want to do for your country. So looks like it and it promotes economic diversification which as well is not. So it the answer is It limits the government's ability to invest in education and healthcare. Which statement best explains the impact of technological advances on industries? So we're looking for one that best explains the impact that technological advances has. So industries shape technological advancements more than they are affected. Rapid technological changes require industries to innovate and update their practices to meet new demands. Technological advancements have little impact on how industries operate. Technology mainly affects the ledger activities of the population not industries. So based on the options there we know that the last two and will is not does not best explain the impact because saying that it has little impact that's incorrect and saying that it mainly affects the ledger activities that has nothing to do with it. So let's look at the two option industry shape technological advancements more than they are affected is actually the other way around. So is not the answer either. So the answer there is Rapid technological changes require industries to innovate and update their practices to meet new demands. Next question. How can technology best contribute to the productivity of industries in the Caribbean? So the options are by creating more job opportunities, by improving the efficiency of production processes, by increasing foreign exchange earnings, by reducing government revenue. So we're looking at how technology best contributes to the productivity by creating more job opportunities. No, because well technology kind of replaces or can replace persons jobs by improving the efficiency of production processes. So yes, that sounds like what technology will do. Improve efficiency. by increasing foreign exchange earnings. That doesn't directly have an effect on it. So no. And by reducing government revenue actually no it can increase if it improves the efficiency. So the answer there again is So we into regional integration now. How can regional integration tackle economic challenges in the Caribbean? So how can the Caribbean region coming together help economic challenges? by isolating countries from international markets. So don't know if you all notice as well when I'm reading the question will rephrase it or put it in different way. So you can do that as well to help you to understand what the question is asking. by isolating countries from international markets. By limiting trade agreements with other regions. by pooling resources and expertise to address common challenges and by promoting competition between neighboring nations. So let's look at how coming together could tackle economic challenges. This the first one no because it says by isolating countries. So no by limiting trade with other region that doesn't make sense because if you limit trade you won't make any money by pulling the resources and expertise to address common challenges which makes sense because always use the example of banana the bananas if they are unable if one country is unable to produce bananas to supply larger country. they could pull their resources with another and they both can benefit from the sale of bananas there and by promoting competition between neighboring nations. No, that's not what they want to do. So the answer there is Which of the following best illustrates the concept of regional integration as strategy to address challenges in the Caribbean. So we know that regional integration is the Caribbean countries coming together to meet economic challenges and all of that. So which best illustrates the concept of regional integration. collaborating with neighboring countries to establish joint health care system. focusing solely on internal development without considering external factors. implementing national policies to boost economic growth and increasing tariffs on imported goods to protect domestic industries. So we could eliminate. So when we look at it said sorry it says focusing solely on internal development that is defeating the purpose of regional integration because that is looking at your own country internal development without considering other Caribbean countries. So is out. Then we have They say implementing national policies. That means you're only implementing policies for your country again. So that does not illustrate the concept of regional integration. So we have increasing tariffs which is increasing tax on imported goods. Again that will not that does not illustrate the concept of region integration. So the answer is collaborating with neighboring countries to establish joint health care system. You're coming together. Which of the following is not an economic indicator? So when we look at economic indicators, we look at the cost of living or the standard of living, GMP and GDP of the country and the per capita income. So which is not an economic indicator is education. How does comparing GDP which is gross domestic product and G&P gross national income help economic economist economist sorry understand economic development in country. What happened there? Okay. When move it like that, it does that. Okay. So, it allows economists to see the direct impact of domestic policies on economic growth. We're looking at both GDP and GMPP. This is inside and outside of the region inside and outside of country. Sorry. It determines the exact amount of taxes and costs country has paid over the year. So, definitely not. It helps to track changes in the quality of life and job availability over time. It shows the economic contribution of residents living abroad compared to those within the country indicating the level of international economic activity. So is the answer. If you know any about GMPP and GDP, we looking at residents outside. one looks at the income that is received from persons or residents who are outside receiving an income and one deals with the workers inside the country. So it shows the economic contribution of residents living abroad compared to those within the country. Which one of the following statements best describes the impact of unemployment and undermployment of in the Caribbean? So, we're looking at the impact of unemployment and underemployment. They encourage entrepreneurship and innovation which is good impact because when persons realize okay I'm unemployed will try to either create my own business or underemployed they have no effect on the economy which is not true they lead to increased social benefits actually not and they make poverty and income equalities inequality quality sorry worse. So the answer there is because if there are high levels of unemployment and underemployment the ripple effect of that is poverty cuz you're unable to provide basic needs and underemployment looks at we spoke about it before where persons are overqualified for the position that they hold. So that deals with income inequalities because I'm not being paid for for my skill set or my education level. How does the lack of diversification in industries contribute to economic vulnerability in the Caribbean? So if you don't have lack of if you have lack of diversity. So we only have specific industries in the Caribbean. That's what this is saying here. How does this contribute to economic vulnerability if there are only specific industries in the Caribbean region? So it increases resilience to natural disasters. That's incorrect. it makes countries vulnerable to changes in supply and demand. it promotes sustainable development or it reduces dependency on external markets. So the best answer there is because when persons are moving away from the industries that are in the Caribbean region then what happens to that country or the region itself? So the answer there is Caribbean regional integration can best be described as attempts by Caribbean countries too. We know regional integration is when they come together to help each other in terms of economic, social, political. So let's see what the options are saying. gain independence from the mother country. No. being from CARICOM to deal with transnational corporations. CARACOM was actually an institution to help with regional integration, but it doesn't describe the attempts. formulate western east cricket team. No. And Unite the Caribbean people economically, politically, and socially. So that is regional integration. The West Indies Federation represents the first stage of integration and began in. So we should all know when the West Indies Federation came into existence which is B1958. In which country is the headquarters of the Association of Caribbean States based? So thankfully they didn't bring any of these specifically in the paper two. So they just might bring it in the paper one. So it is good that we know that it is in Trinidad and Tobago. The ACS headquarters is in Trinidad and Tobago. Which of the following is not major objective of CSME? single currency. free movement of capital. free movement of skill labor. right of establishment. So the answer there is because the objective is not to create single currency across the Caribbean region. However, it is to ensure that there is free movement of capital and resources so that persons could establish businesses in different Caribbean countries. Which of the following is not an objective of carryom? trade liberalization by member states. the harmonization of fiscal incentives. common external tariff or to gain republic status for members looking at which is not an objective. Their objective was not to gain any republic status for members. Anything that dealt with economy and coming together and removing barriers to trade and all of that that is caric but not So is the answer there. The main reason for the creation of the Caribbean community again which is Caram is the need for economic creation corporation sorry the formation of character the existence of one type of people the maintenance of the University of the in these. So the answer there obviously is the need for economic cooperation because kara wasn't formed to form karaa not for one type of event and also not the maintenance of UI they were formed to deal with the economic problems by economic cooperation among the member states the right of establishment describes person's right two, build home, employment in any member country, live anywhere they like, work or set up business in member state without restrictions. It is Work or set business in member state without restriction. group of countries that trade together without restriction is federation, single economy, single market or regional integration? The answer is single market. What is trading block? So from our knowledge we know that trading block is group of countries that decide with among themselves that they have special deals or they remove barriers to trade among themselves. So that is trading block. So let's look at the responses close to the knowledge that we have. country that restricts trades with its me neighbors. Well, we know that's incorrect because it actually promotes trade with its members without restrictions. group of countries that give each other special trading deals and conditions. So, that sounds like it. group of countries that work together to promote regional integration. Yes. But how? and single country that dominates regional trade. We know that's incorrect as well. The answer that is clear and closest to what trading block is is group of countries that give each other special trading deals and conditions. All of the following are benefits derived from protected regional market except so we're looking at that word except as well. find my Zoom Zoom chat quiet here boy. Everybody zoning apparently. I'll take it as that. So all Vina benefits derived from protected regional market except both agricultural and industrial developments are facilitated among member countries. efficiency and minimum cost of production can be achieved. Local industries can cooperate to export their excess products or more production will motivate greater local consumption of excess commodities. So we're looking at the benefits that can be derived from protecting regional markets. So is benefit both in agricultural and industrial development are facilitated among member countries. efficiency and minimum cost of production can be achieved is benefit. local industries can cooperate to export the excess product is benefit. So the non benefit there is more production will motivate greater local consumption of excess commodities. That's not making much sense there. So we know that is not the benefit. Unity within CARICOM results in all of the following except so we're looking at the one that is not that does not result in unity. Make it possible for member states to achieve greater self-reliance. Improve the bargaining power of the community in re relation to foreign countries. reduce the burden of taxation on me citizens in member states. Reduce the cost of functional cooperation. From those answers, we know for sure is because it talks about self-reliance and that is not what unity within CARICOM will result in nothing with self-reliance cuz remember we know that carryom by extension regional integration is coming together. Which one of the following is most necessary for economic integration? The development of common currency. The controlled importation of commodities outside of CARICOM. Removal of barriers of trade among member countries. individual trade agreements with foreign countries. So, we know for sure it's not because we looking at integration and it doesn't deal with anything individual cuz you're looking at coming together developing common currency. No. So it has to be between and and the answer there is because we're looking at economic integration. So when you remove the barriers of trade among member countries where you can trade freely, this is where you'll have the economic integration. An agreement reached among curricum countries can be termed as unilateral, bilateral, multilateral or international. So unilateral will be one between one or belonging to one country. So we know that's not correct. Bilateral when we're looking at bilateral agreements, we're looking at between two countries. Multilateral looking at several countries. International we're looking at outside of the region. So we know and is incorrect. So the answer is Functional cooperation in CARICOM involves cooperation in trade, taxation, migration, health, education, meteorology, politics, business cooperatives, agriculture, mining and tourism. So let's tap into our knowledge of what functional cooperation is. So functional cooperation in curriculum is like activities that will improve the quality of life of the citizens in the region. So it looks at sharing resources and services to deal with the challenges that the car come with the Caribbean region face. So when we look at what it involves it involves the cooperation in it will be health education and meteorology. So health because we they pull the resources together to deal with any public health or medical pulling the medical resources to deal with any public health crisis education looking at promoting education and we can see that in terms of like ueI where there's several campuses of the same university in the Caribbean region and also when we look at meteor geology that just looks at disaster management, how well the region is able to help and to prepare and also looking at disaster relief efforts and all of that. So the closest answer there or the not the closest but the answer there is health, education and meteorology. this two. Okay. Which of the following is not factor that hinders regional integration in the Caribbean? Well, the answer already highlighted the common cultural heritage because we know that the factors that promotes regional integration is what we have in common. So they ask what is not factor that hinders and we it is common cultural heritage because we have that in common. Everything else hinders regional integration, the location and size, insularity and also of course unequal distribution of resources. factor which puts damper on regional integration is economic common economic problems of member states. member states are all third world developing countries. the divisive influence of slavery and inship. the different strategies used by member states for economic development. So this is saying here same thing what hinders regional integration it would be the different strategies used by member states for economic developments because now when we have the different strategies it puts the region in competition against each other. And that of course we know that is against what regional integration is. Globalization is the factor which so we know globalization is where the world is made into one large borderless zone whereby goods and services can be purchased or received from anywhere in the world. So, promotes Caribbean regional integration. hinders Caribbean regional integration. prevents brain from the Caribbean. Causes the production of goods and services goods, sorry, causes the production of Caribbean goods to be expensive because of globalization. There's lot of competition now with foreign markets. So that means it is it will promote Caribbean regional integration because now we have to come together to deal with the effects of globalization and be able to competitively compete with international markets. Which of the following is not response which is not responsible for globalization? air transport sorry air transport. the internet, communicable diseases and the global media. Of course it is communicable diseases cuz globalization air transport is responsible for that internet and the global media. How do advancements in information and communication technologies like social media impact the preservation of cultural heritage in the Caribbean? So we're looking at the advancements in ICT and they specifically spoke of social media impact the preservation of cultural heritage. by diminishing cultural her cultural practices through globalization. By enabling the sharing and preservation of traditions. by encouraging assimulation into dominant cultures. or by limiting access to cultural information. Well, we know ICT especially social media because we now have or we now can share different aspects of our culture across the world using social media. So the answer now is by enabling and sharing the preservation of traditions.

Solar energy is viable form of alternative energy because it's so I'm seeing some good answers coming in but actually it's an it's Bible form of alternative energy because it is inexpensive to generate. That is why it is viable form. So yes, it have the benefits of it reducing noise pollution and no pollution and all of that but it is inexpensive. So it doesn't reduce noise pollution. Actually is not factor contributing factor to reducing noise pollution. So that wouldn't be the answer. resulting in no pollution not so much because it's form of energy and it depending on how it is used.
