Question

select the correct word to complete each sentence to describe how africa’s climate and physical characteristics impact where people live.
the sahel is dry, but it receives more rainfall than the choose.
this climate results in choose plant life.
this environment choose economic activities.
as a result of this area’s physical characteristics, choose people live here.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each sentence based on African geography and climate:

Sentence 1: "The Sahel is dry, but it receives more rainfall than the ______."

The Sahel is a semi - arid region. The Sahara Desert is more arid (drier) than the Sahel. So the word to fill in is "Sahara".

Sentence 2: "This climate results in ______ plant life."

The Sahel has a semi - arid climate. Compared to the Sahara, it has more plant life, but less than more humid regions. Terms like "sparse" (but more than Sahara) or "some" can be used, but a common answer is "sparse" (since it's dry, plant life isn't dense).

Sentence 3: "This environment ______ economic activities."

A semi - arid environment like the Sahel limits economic activities (e.g., agriculture is limited, pastoralism is more common). So a word like "limits" or "influences" (with a focus on restriction) works. "Limits" is a common choice.

Sentence 4: "As a result of this area’s physical characteristics, ______ people live here."

Due to the semi - arid and somewhat harsh environment, the population density is low. So words like "few" or "not many" are appropriate. "Few" is a common answer.

Final Answers (assuming standard answer choices for each blank):

1. Sahara
2. sparse
3. limits
4. few

(Note: If there were specific answer options provided in a dropdown, the exact wording would align with those options. The above is based on general geographic knowledge of the Sahel and surrounding regions.)
