Paragraph Test - 21

Answer the questions according to the reading passages.

African countries place the blame of their economic failure on the lack of support by rich countries, when in reality the causes of Africa's failure lie in misguided policies of the governments.

With so many farmers in prison it is not possible for African nations to overcome the famine problem. By removing these policies, they can increase food production and problems with hunger will experience a decrease.
