How do natural resources and geography relate to economic growth for a
country?
natural resources such as high per capita income, and a high number of
cities lead to restricted economic growth.
rich natural resources and access to trade routes contribute to high interest
rates on micro financing.
a country's economic growth is unconnected to limited natural resources
and being geographically landlocked.
limited natural resources such as infertile land and lack of coastal access
can limit economic growth for a country.

Limited natural resources like infertile land and lack of coastal access can limit economic growth of a country.  

Explanation:

Agriculture is an important sector that determines a country’s economic stability. If a country   does not have enough agricultural productivity it should depend on other countries to meet its needs. This will cause the outflow of wealth from the nation to other countries and slow down its economic growth.  

Fertile land is the necessary resource that ensures stable agricultural productivity. If a country’s geographical location favours its trade relations with other nations, imports and exports become smoother. Coastal access is an important factor that boosts up a country’s active participation in global trade.  

Thus infertile land and lack of coastal access can bring down the economic growth of a country.

hello!

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".

hope this
