Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A There are significant improvements in the education of the urbanised region.
B There is a good network of transporation and better health facilities.
D There is a mixing of people from various social backgrounds which helps in breaking prejudice and in understanding the significance of different cultures.

The consequences of urbanisation are both positive and negative. Due to urbanisation, there is a significant improvement in education as urbanisation creates more jobs which requires different sets of skills. Urbanisation also facilitates good networks of transportation and improvements in healthcare facilities. As people move from various rural areas for better jobs, people from different social backgrounds interact and this helps break prejudice and in understanding the significance of different cultures.
