Question

To encourage economic growth, the Brazilian government did all of the following except _____.

A. encourage plantation owners to sell their land to manufacturing companies
B. build a steel mill and oil refinery
C. give away mining permits
D. build huge hydroelectric dams to produce power

Answer 1

The answer is A. encourage plantation owners to sell their land to manufacturing companies.

This is not implemented in Brazil. Brazilian agriculture is a mixture of private owners, company owners, and recently foreign company owners (which till recently was not the case), mostly Chinese companies. Big portion of the private owners have solid amount of land, so it is not a necessity taht the government encourages measure like that.
