Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

No, there are large differences in they way wealth is distributed across countries. For example, the U.S., Canada and Western Europe account for 60 percent of the world's annual consumption, while having only 11 percent of the world's population. In contrast, Africa and South Asia have 37 percent of the world's population but represent only about 6 percent of world consumption expenditure.
