Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

These statistics combine industrialized countries with developing countries. The statistics in this table are not consistent with the predictions of the economic growth model. For example, Belgium, France, Canada and Denmark had much higher levels of real GDP per capita in 1960 than did Bangladesh, Honduras, and Bolivia. The economic growth model predicts that Belgium, France, Canada, and Denmark should have grown more slowly than Bangladesh, Honduras, and Bolivia. But the table shows that they grew much faster.
