Explanation:

• Question 42: Economic liberalism shifting left - wing implies more government intervention. Government bailouts using public funds to support private industry show increased state intervention, which is a left - leaning action in the context of economic liberalism. Decreasing regulation (A) is a right - leaning action, as is decreasing social welfare (B), and increasing economic isolationism (C) is not directly related to the left - right shift in economic liberalism.
• Question 43: In individualist societies, there is a strong emphasis on personal freedom. In collectivist societies, the needs of the group often take precedence over individual freedoms, so a person moving from an individualist to a collectivist society is likely to lose some degree of freedom. Security (A) may increase, equality (B) is not the most likely loss, and cooperation (D) is more likely to increase.
• Question 44: Given the focus on individual liberties, equal rights, and an open government in the diagram, an emphasis on free press and freedom of religion (a) fits well as it is another aspect of individual freedoms and democratic values. Open access to welfare (b) is more about social programs, political power based on academic strength (c) is not in line with the existing themes, and pursuit of international supremacy (d) is not related to the internal values shown.
• Question 45: The diagram shows a focus on individual liberties, equal rights, and an open and responsive government, which are characteristics of democratic capitalism. Dictatorial systems (a, b) lack the openness and focus on individual liberties. Democratic socialism (c) typically has a stronger emphasis on state - owned enterprises and more extensive social welfare than what is indicated here.
