Answer 1

The US economy is the largest in the world when measured in GDP per person.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. It is false that the US economy is the largest in the world when measured in GDP per person.

Step-by-step explanation:

While it is true that the United States has the largest economy in the world in absolute nominal terms, with a GDP of approximately $21,000,000,000,000, in terms of GDP per capita this nation is ranked number 8, with a per capita production of approximately $63,000 year. This means that, despite being the country that produces the most amount of money a year, its inhabitants are not the most productive. Thus, the first place in the ranking of countries by GDP per capita corresponds to Luxembourg, whose inhabitants annually produce almost $115,000.
