A) Iran, because they are governed as a theocratic republic. B) Israel, because they are the only non-Muslim country in the region. C) Afghanistan, because literacy is a key part of economic development. D) Iraq, because they have been ravaged by war and violence since 2001.

Answer 1

C) Afghanistan, because literacy is a key part of economic development.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer would be Afghanistan, because literacy is a key part of economic development. True, it and Iraq have both been subjected to war and violence over the past decade. But when considering solely the information on this chart- and your prior knowledge, of course- you can safely predict there is a direct relationship between literacy and standard of living.

Answer 2

Afghanistan. Low literacy rates means low standard of living.
