Liberia, a very poor nation in West Africa, is relatively abundant in resources such as mahogany and rubber tree forests, iron-ore deposits, and diamonds. If Liberia is so rich in valuable resources, why is it still so impoverished? a) Liberia lacks the institutions necessary to make productive use of those resources. b) The population of Liberia is too small to use those resources. c) Natural resources are not as important as other types of resources. d) Taxes in Liberia are too high and discourage investment. e) Liberians are content with a low standard of living.

A. Liberia lacks the institutions necessary to make productive use of those resources.

Explanation: Liberia is a nation rich with natural resources including iron ore, gold, diamonds, natural rubber, vast forest for logging and timber harvesting, and vast agriculture land for ensuring food security.

Liberia is Africa's oldest republic, but it became known in the 1990s for its long-running, ruinous civil war and its role in a rebellion in neighboring Sierra Leone. Around 250,000 people were killed in Liberia's civil war, and many thousands more fled the fighting.
