Let’s go through each question one by one and think about what kind of resource is being asked for.

Question 1:
> If a country wants to start an economic activity like agriculture, what type of resource is needed?
Agriculture means growing crops or raising animals. To do that, you need:
- Land, water, sunlight → these are
natural resources
- Farmers to plant and harvest → that’s
human resources
- Tractors, plows, irrigation systems → those are
capital resources
So actually, you need ALL THREE types to start agriculture properly.
✔ Correct answer:
Natural, human and capital resources

Question 2:
> A major highway connecting an industrial zone with a port is a form of ____.
A highway is something built by people using money and machines — it’s not natural (like rivers or forests), and it’s not a person (so not human). It’s a man-made tool used to help move goods — that’s a
capital resource.
✔ Correct answer:
Capital resource

Question 3:
> Many developing countries have based their economies on ____
Developing countries often don’t have lots of factories or high-tech industries yet. Instead, they usually rely on things they can get from the land — like mining, logging, farming, or fishing. That’s called
extraction of natural resources.
They might not have enough skilled workers or big investments in machines yet — so options about manufacturing, capital investment, or skilled workers are more typical of developed countries.
✔ Correct answer:
The extraction of natural resources.

Final Answer:
1. Natural, human and capital resources
2. Capital resource
3. The extraction of natural resources.
