Absolutely! Here’s a sample response for each part of Question 2 on the AP Human Geography 2023 FRQ: ⸻ A. One indicator used to calculate HDI scores is Mean Years of Schooling for Women/Men. ⸻ B. Brazil’s HDI score is higher than Afghanistan’s because Brazil has a higher life expectancy (69 years vs. 61 years), which reflects better access to healthcare and overall quality of life. ⸻ C. One way sustainability goals can respond to economic challenges is by investing in renewable energy, which can reduce dependence on imported fuels, lower pollution, create jobs, and attract eco-conscious investors, stimulating long-term economic growth. ⸻ D. Increasing women’s access to education is likely to reduce a country’s total fertility rate because educated women often choose to delay marriage and childbirth, have better access to family planning, and prioritize careers, which lowers the average number of children per woman. ⸻ E. Ecotourism can promote sustainable economic growth by creating jobs in conservation and hospitality, generating income while preserving natural environments. It encourages responsible tourism and helps local communities benefit economically without degrading their natural resources. ⸻ F. Access to clean-burning fuels improves life expectancy because it reduces indoor air pollution, which can cause respiratory illnesses. For example, in Finland, where 100% of the population has access to clean-burning fuels, the life expectancy is 81, compared to Afghanistan’s 61, where only 32% have access. ⸻ G. Based on the table, Afghanistan would be classified in Stage 1 or 2 of Rostow’s Stages of Economic Growth. This is because it has a low GNI per capita, high agricultural employment (39%), low education levels, and high fertility and mortality rates, all signs of a country in early development
