Question

Which of the following best explains why the Romani ethnic group is

identified on the chart but does not appear on the map?
(A) The scale of analysis of the data reflects that the Romani are a
large minority group but are not a majority in any region.
(B) The map shows only the nodal regions in Slovakia.
(C) The friction of distance limits what information can be shown in
each type of source.
(D) The data in the chart is not reliable because Slovakia is a former
satellite state of the USSR.
(E) The map uses qualitative data while the chart uses quantitative
data, creating an inconsistency between the information.

Answer 1

(A) The scale of analysis of the data reflects that the Romani are a

large minority group but are not a majority in any region.

Explanation: There is no official or reliable count of the Romani populations worldwide. Many Romani refuse to register their ethnic identity in official censuses for fear of discrimination. Others are descendants of intermarriage with local populations and no longer identify only as Romani, or not at all.
