Answer 2

The correct answers are A, B, C and E. The causes of the Arab Spring movement were that protestors opposed high poverty rates and high unemployment, wanted changes within government and rejected autocratic rule.

The demonstrations in the Arab World of 2010-2013, known as the Arab Spring, corresponded to a series of popular demonstrations in the clamor of democracy and social rights organized by the Arab population.

The Arab Spring is considered the first great wave of secular and democratic protests in the Arab world in the 21st century. The protests, of a social nature and in the case of Tunisia, supported by the army, were caused by structural and demographic factors, hard living conditions rooted in unemployment, to which were added corrupt and authoritarian regimes.
