Answer the Following Questions in About 120 Words<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(i) Why are the means of transportation and communication called the lifelines of a nation and its economy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transportation and communication are called the lifelines of a nation because they connect people, regions, markets, and industries. Transportation helps move raw materials, finished goods, and passengers from one place to another. Communication enables the rapid exchange of information, ideas, and services. Together, they promote trade, tourism, industrial development, and national integration. Efficient transport and communication systems help reduce regional disparities and support economic growth. They also strengthen social and cultural relationships among people living in different parts of the country. Therefore, they play a vital role in the development and progress of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(ii) Write a note on the changing nature of international trade in the last fifteen years.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nature of international trade has changed significantly due to globalization, technological advancements, and improved transport facilities. India&rsquo;s trade volume has increased considerably with countries across the world. Earlier, trade mainly involved agricultural products and raw materials. Today, India exports gems and jewellery, chemicals, engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, and information technology services. Imports include petroleum products, machinery, electronics, and industrial goods. Digital technology and e-commerce have further expanded trade opportunities. Improved ports, airports, communication networks, and logistics have made international trade faster and more efficient. As a result, international trade has become a major contributor to India&rsquo;s economic growth and foreign exchange earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quiz Drive Answers<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
