Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Malthus argued that population increases exponentially, in a geometric pattern of

progression (2, 4, 8, 16, ) whereas the food supply would increase only by an

arithmetic progression (1, 2, 3, ). Parents have two children, sixteen grandchildren,

and so on, whereas food production increases just one acre at a time. This results in a

doubling effect so that population growth inevitably surpasses the food supply, and the

lack of food ultimately ends population growth and perhaps eliminates the existing

population. However, Malthus suggested that this disaster might be averted by either

positive or preventive checks on population.
