Which of the following scenarios would most likely cause the country's literacy rate to decrease? A. Libya is torn by civil war. B. Canada's economy enjoys its greatest growth in 20 years. C. The United Nations provides large amounts of aid to Ethiopia. D. Singapore experiences an increase in investment opportunities.

The following scenario which would most likely cause the country's literacy rate to decrease would be if A) Libya is torn by civil war. This would cause the literacy rate to decline, because if there is civil war, schools are shut down and it is unsafe for children to go to school, so their education is halted. This ties into the literacy if schoolchildren have their daily reading and writing learning halted.
