Explanation:

A literate is someone who has the ability to read and write or someone who is knowledgeable in a specific field of study. Generally, a literate is regarded as an educated person. Examples a doctor is a literate likewise other professional like engineers, teachers , pilots etc are all regarded as a literate.

Literacy rate measures the percentage of people who can read and write as compared to those who cannot. Literacy rate is usually expressed in percentage which depicts the percentage of people in a group or country that have the ability to read and write. One might decides to take the literacy rate of a particular age group(15 - 30) in a nation . The literacy rate is the total number of people who are literate in that age group expressed as a percentage  of the overall population in that age group.  

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. : )
