 Exercise 3 (2 points): Read the following passage and then circle the correct answer for the questions below.
 The population of the world has increased more in modern times than in other ages of history combined. World population totaled about 500 million in 1650. It doubled in the period from 1650 to 1680. By the year 2000, the population will be 6.6 billion. Estimates based on research by the United Nations indicate that it will double in the twenty – five years between 1975 and the year 2000.
 No one knows the limits of the population that the earth can support. Thomas Malthus, an English economist, developed a theory that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested that because world population tended to increase more rapidly than food supply, we should continuously constrain available resources. Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics and other disasters as in the usual limitations of world population growth. With recent advances in science and technology, including improved agricultural methods and great processes and in medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened, with obvious results. International organizations have recommended programmes to encourage general economic development that target areas along with a decrease in birth rates to effect a lasting solution.
