Show answer

Answer: C. Statement 1 is correct: Vietnam has been among the fastest-growing economies. Statement 2 is wrong: Vietnam is a one-party state led by the Communist Party. Statement 3 is correct: its growth is tied to exports and global supply chains. Statement 4 is correct: low labour costs and a stable exchange rate attract manufacturers. Statement 5 is not established and is treated as wrong. So 1, 3 and 4.

Watch for: Statement 5 sounds like a plausible superlative, but such 'most productive' claims are usually unsupported.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Wrong because Vietnam is not a multi-party system.
  • B. Wrong because statement 5 is not supported and 1 is missing.
  • D. Wrong because Vietnam has a single-party system.
