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.

ycow [4]

The answer is  B. Literacy rates are increasing in the region, and the gap between men and women is decreasing.

According to the Fact Sheet No. 45 dated  September 2017 of the Unesco  Institute  for Statistics, Northern Africa and Western Asia literacy rate went from 64% to 81. The youth literacy rate increased in Northern Africa and Western Asia from 80% to 90% and sub-Saharan Africa  from 65% to 75%. Female literacy rates-lower than male literacy rates at the start of the period - generally grew faster than male literacy rates between 1990 and 2016.Thus, the gap between men and women has decreased  in all regions over the past 26 years.
