Question

Which of the following is one reason why Mozambique is one of the world’s poorest countries?

a. lack of access to the sea or navigable rivers
b. low population growth
c. civil war
d. lack of good farmland

Answer 1

- it does have access to sea, so the first is definitely not true.
- it also has a high fertility rate, 5.9 per woman, so the second is also not true
the third option however, is true: Mozambique had a civil war between 1977 and 1992, during which an estimated million of people died (mostly due to famine).
