Maria is 25 years old, is single, and lives in the country.

Answer 1

11. The correct answer is "II and III".

People who live in rural areas are less likely to use forms of birth control for two reasons:

• People who practice Roman Catholicism don't believe they should use any form of birth control as pregnancies are the will of God and should not be prevented.
• People who live in rural areas do notget educated on birth control as well as people who live in urban areas and they can't get access to the products they need as easily.

12. The person who is the least likely to migrate internationally is Rebecca.

People who live in the city are usually the ones who seem more likely to migrate. With that said, out of the people who live in the country, Maria is young, she could go looking for opportunities in other countries. George might go looking for a better life for his family. Rebecca looks like is settled down with her husband on the countryside and wouldn't want to migrate,
