Question

All of the following are characteristics of Brazil except __________.

Answer 1

The question seeks an incorrect characteristic about Brazil among given options. By highlighting true aspects such as being a former Portuguese colony, having diverse cultural festivals like Carnival, and moving the capital for development, one can contrast these to identify the false characteristic. Brazil's primary language, cultural influence, and economic activities offer clues towards the true characteristics of the nation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to be asking for a characteristic of Brazil that is not true among the options presented. Since the specific characteristics are not listed in the question, we can draw on our knowledge of Brazil's history, geography, and culture to think about what is true of Brazil and therefore identify characteristics that are not likely to be true.

The following are some well-established facts about Brazil:

• Brazil gained independence from Portuguese rule in 1822, and unlike most Latin American countries, it became a monarchy instead of a republic initially.
• Brazil was a former Portuguese colony and retains Portuguese as its primary language and has a diverse ethnic composition due to European immigration and African slave labor.
• Due to the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494, Brazil remained outside the Spanish empire and developed its own distinct culture.
• The nation is known for its cultural influence, expressed through events like Carnival and sports successes.
• Brazil moved its capital from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia in 1960 to develop the interior regions of the country.
• Brazil is a significant global exporter of agricultural products such as soybeans, coffee, and orange juice.
• Though Brazil is highly urbanized, it faces challenges with poverty in urban slums called favelas.
• Internal migration patterns are predominantly from rural areas to urban centers, such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasilia.

Contrasting these true characteristics with the options presented in the question will help to identify the one characteristic which is not applicable to Brazil.

Answer 2

Considering the following answers;
a. its a command economy that is controlled by the government
b. its high poverty rates, which are a significant problem
c. its high number of people working in services and manufucturing
d. its vast natural resources.
The answer would be A. its a command economy that is controlled by the government.
A command economy is a type of economy that is found in a communist or socialist country, that does not have a free market and where everything , from production to prices is decided by the government. Brazil is an example of am economy that is not quite command but not quite market. The supply and the demand in the Brazil's market decides what products to produce.
