·the literacy rate in south africa is 85%, and its gross domestic product (gdp) is $37 billion.

· the literacy rate in mozambique is 42%, and its gdp is $19 billion.
based on this information, which statement best describes the relationship between literacy rates and a nation's standard of living?
a) literacy rates have very little effect on economic production and standard of living.
b) a higher literacy rate will have a positive effect on a nation's standard of living.
c) a nation's standard of living is totally dependent on its educational system.
d) overpopulation has a negative impact on gdp and literacy rates.

The second alternative is correct (B).

The literacy rate of a country is an indicator that tells a lot about the country's situation. Countries with lower literacy rates are usually poorer, which makes sense.

Education is the tool that develops people and countries. People with a standard of education are usually more productive workers. Productivity, in turn, is linked to the country's efficiency in the production of goods and services that make up the GDP. Thus, there is a connection between literacy rate and GDP.

In this example, Mozambique has a small GDP because the country's illiteracy rate is enormous. The opposite occurs in South Africa, the most developed country on the African continent, where the literacy rate is higher.
