Which of the following statements about the economies of the pacific islands is false?
a. tourism is an important part of the economies of the pacific islands.
b. each pacific island economy centers around the production of wool products.
c. some island countries receive aid from wealthier nations.
d. most pacific island countries import large quantities of raw materials in order to export finished products.

the wrong statement is - c. a desert had more biodiversity than a marsh.

the deserts are one of the places of the planet where there's the least biodiversity. the reasons for that are the climate and the lack of food sources, which hampers both the number of the species that can survive in it, and the number of the individuals in the species itself.

the marshes, on the other hand, are places where there's perfect conditions for lots of organisms to thrive. the temperature is moderate and nice, the amount of water and the food sources are on a high level, so there's an abundance of both plant and animal life in them.
