Which best explains how the population of a landlocked country might be affected by the country’s position?
o the lack of a seaport to trade goods might put the people at an economic disadvantage.
o the people’s folk culture will be largely preserved due to the lack of outside threats to the culture.
o the people are likely to be more reliant on their neighbors to provide access to the sea.

The correct answer is The lack of a seaport to trade goods might put the people at an economic disadvantage

Landlocked, inland or inland countries

Thus are known in the 'concert of nations' the 44 countries that have no outlet to the sea. In common, besides geography, poverty, the difficulty of doing trade, expanding its presence in the world, winning markets, etc. In Europe, only five of these countries have managed to get rid of poverty, but three of them have had to take serious risks in their banking systems so that, like the oceans, they attract wealth. We speak of Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. The other two European countries are Austria and San Marino. Africa contributes 16 more; Asia, ten; and South America, two more, Bolivia and Paraguay.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
