Question

In developing nations, water pollution legislation is ________ common than it is in developed nations. As a nation becomes more ________, citizens generally demonstrate a greater interest in controlling water pollution.

a. more; developed
b. less; affluent
c. less; populated
d. more; polluted

Answer 1

B.) Less; affluent

Step-by-step explanation:

It does not matter where you are; there are many people concerned about water pollution. However, developing nations usually do not have the resources necessary to combat this problem. Developing nations are regarded as countries with a less sophisticated economy, lower GDP, and an underdeveloped industrial base. These nations can have a large population, small population, or any size in-between. Their resources are focused on the basics needed to keep a country running, not environmental concerns that presently have little impact on their economies. If these countries were to become more modern/up-to-date, the citizens may be more willing to devote some money to reversing water pollution.
