One of the reasons of rapid growth of world population is
improved social and medical facilities
stable government
rainfall and its reliability
agricultural system practised
Correct answer is A
The provision of modern and improved medical and social facilities to area tends to attract more population concentration to another.
Other options are wrong because the government being stable does not determine population growth, social amenities provided by the government is the only factor that can make the population growth low, either rainfall or not, people will migrate and reproduce.
The agricultural system practical in an area also does not determine rapid population growth. Either mono-cropping or mixed farming is practiced population will always grow.

One of the following properties of soil can be easily observed in the field
Fertility
Texture
Permeablity
Acidity
Correct answer is B
Texture has to do with feeling and touching. One can get to know if a soil sample is smooth or coarse by touching.
Testing a soil sample fertility can only be done at the laboratory with equipment, the same goes with testing of soil acidic properties.
Soil permeability involves introduction of liquid to know if the particular soil can retain water or not. It might be stressful as particular soil can retain water or not. It might be stressful as movement to get the liquid may be required unlike checking soil texture by just bending to the ground to prick and feel with the hand
