How does the life expectancy of industrialized nations compare to the life expectancy of preindustrial and developing nations?

  1. It is significantly higher

  2. It is roughly equal

  3. It is significantly lower

  4. It fluctuates depending on the region

The correct answer is: It is significantly higher

This is because industrialized nations have access to advanced healthcare and technology, leading to longer life expectancies. Preindustrial and developing nations often have limited access to medical care and are more susceptible to diseases and health issues, resulting in lower life expectancies. While there may be some variations between industrialized nations, overall the life expectancy in these countries is significantly higher than that of preindustrial and developing nations. Therefore, option A is the most accurate statement. Options B, C, and D are all incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the significant difference in life expectancy between industrialized and preindustrial/developing nations.
