Answer 1

The correct answer to this is:

Ida’s view is bescribed using the “Modernization theory”.

Modernization theory is a theory used to explain the procedure of transformation that a nation goes through as it transitions from a traditional society to a modern one. In specific, this refers to the conversion from a traditional, rural, and agrarian society into a urban, industrial society. Modern society is industrial after all. Therefore to modernize a society is, first of all, to industrialize it. In this case, for Bolivia to progress, it has first to modernize.
