FOR EACH OF THE FOLLOWING 50 OBJECTIVE-ITEMS CHOOSE THE MOST
APPROPRIATE ANSWER AND MARK YOUR ANSWERS AGAINST NUMBERS 1-50.
Please read the following scenario and then answer questions 1-6:
The dictator that ruled a country for many years finally stepped down and a new government
was elected. During the reign of the dictator, farming activities virtually came to a standstill
because land was given to friends and family of the dictator who did not have the skills to
farm. Sustainable farming was not practiced in this country during the dictator’s reign, except
for some livestock farming. Boys were kept out of school to herd the livestock. A patriarchal
system in the country resulted in non-inclusive educational opportunities for girls and women.
Empowerment of all females in the country was therefore a problem. Unemployment was a
problem in this country and therefore the people were very poor. As a result, many people in
this country were suffering from hunger. A lack of provision of safe water was a problem in the
cities which resulted in poor sanitation facilities. There was a high incidence of diarrhoeal
diseases also because of the poor sanitation.
The new government promised the rural communities renewable solar electricity producing
facilities. The building of this facility was expedited because a rich country promised to partner
with this low-income country for the building of the mentioned power plant.
MATCH THE ASPECTS FROM THE SCENARIO IN COLUMN A TO THE ASSOCIATED
ISSUES ADDRESSED BY THE PROPOSED SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN
COLUMN B. ANSWERS IN COLUMN B CAN BE USED MORE THAN ONCE.
