Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Wallerstein divides the world into core states, semiperipheral areas, and peripheral areas. The core states are the most technologically advanced and dominate the world economy. The semiperipheral areas are developed to some extent but still dependent on capital and technology provided by the core states. The peripheral areas supply basic resources and labor to the core and semiperipheral area. This system is based on economic domination and does not require political repression as well.
