Question

As the world is divided into the More Financially Developed and Less Financially Developed Countries, wealth - both money and material resources - is unequally distributed among the world's population. This has large consequences for people's lifestyles and the environment. In progress geography, geographers study spatial patterns in progress and try to find by what characteristics can they measure economic progress. _______________ .

Options:

A . There are many methods that geographers use to quantify and compare the progress of different countries.

B . Within countries the pattern is that, wealth is more concentrated around urban areas than the rural areas.

C . They seek to understand both the geographical causes and consequences of varying economic progress.

D . Countries with resources such as iron ore, oil and coal are likely to develop industrially more easily because they do not have to import these resources.

E . They then seek to determine the ways by which people living in these regions have adapted to their local geographic conditions.

Answer: Option C
:
C
Option A is not the best choice because progress geography has just been defined in the paragraph. The 'many methods' raise many questions rather than end the paragraph.
Option B talks not of 'spatial progress' but of actual progress. Something that is related to 'spatial progresses may make sense at the end of the paragraph.
Option D talks about the resources, unrelated to 'spatial progresses.
Option E talks about how people have adapted to their local geographic conditions, a point which is not related to the preceding idea of economic progress.
Option C talks about the purpose of the study as a part of the definition of progress geography - and concludes the paragraph without the need for any further clarification.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.
