question # 3
multiple choice
which term best describes the relationship between food demand and the global population?
variable
opposing
direct
inverse

Explanation:

A direct relationship means as one factor increases, the other increases proportionally. As global population rises, the total number of people needing food grows, so food demand increases. A variable is a single measurable quantity, not a relationship. Opposing would mean the two move in opposite directions, which is not the case here. An inverse relationship means one rises as the other falls, which is incorrect for population and food demand.

Answer:

direct
