In his book “Guns, Germs and Steel,” Jared Diamond argues that societies that have prevailed and conquered others (for example, Eurasian societies) have been lucky in terms of environment. This has allowed them to enjoy advantages and adaptations that other cultures have not had. When he discusses the case of Papua New Guinea, he gives several reasons for the lack of technological development they had before the arrival of Europeans:

Lack of large mammals that could be of help in transportation or agriculture.

Isolation from other major cultures.

Lack of domesticable animals.

Lack of domesticable crops.

Enormous natural barriers that prevented constant contact between various cultural groups.

What initiatives did sheikh zayed take to deal with water scarcity and soil salinity in uae
xz_007 [3.2K]

Explanation:

Long before the need for sustainable development became widely recognised, the late Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan was achieving an environmental miracle: he was transforming the desert into a green haven.

Hamdi Tammam, in his book Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan: The Leader and the March, wrote that the former president devoted much of his time making enquiries about the topography of the region.

After much research, Shaikh Zayed discovered that 15,000 years ago, the Arabian Peninsula was a very different place. Enveloped in thick forests and full of greenery, the land got transformed to a desert only after it was exposed to a long spell of drought that also forced its inhabitants to move in search of water. In time, the forests were buried and gradually transformed into the region's black gold or oil.

Shaikh Zayed charted a course to return the desert to its greener origins by increasing the number of trees, farms and palm orchards.

Answer:

B. Predictive Validity

Explanation:

Predictive Validity is a type of validity or form of evidence, often used in sociology, psychology or any form of behavioural science test, in which the purpose is to defend the use of a test for predicting other outcomes.

In other words, it is a method of developing validity evidence for employment tests in which a test is given to present employees, then a rating of those employees' job performance that are gathered or obtained independently of the test are used to predict other outcomes.

Predictive validity is however shown when a test correlates well with a measure that has previously been validated.

Hence, in this case, Omar is assessing the Predictive Validity of the test.
