Question

Which generalization MOST LIKELY reflects the influence of Europe's coastal location and temperate oceanic climate?

A. Europe has a declining birth rate.
B. Europe is the world's second smallest continent.
C. The European Union has the largest economy in the world.
D. The European Union has a limited role in the foreign policy of member nations.

Answer 1

Europe's coastal location and temperate oceanic climate, both suitable for trade, have enabled the European Union to have the largest economy in the world. The EU accounts for an estimated 30% of the gross world product, ahead of the United States, China, and Japan.

Answer 2

I think that the best answer is that

C. The European Union has the largest economy in the world.

Coastal location encourages trade and fishing and temperate climate makes farming easier- those factors contribute to the economy, so they would make the economy of the EU quite strong!
