In the Learn It section you examined secondary source evidence about the developing country of Bolivia. The evidence could be used to answer an essay question in a thesis-driven essay. In this activity you will categorize more of this evidence into the same thesis statement.
As a reminder, the question we are answering is this:
Why is Bolivia considered a developing country?
Review the thesis statement we are using to categorize the evidence:
The economic challenges, widespread poverty, and lack of democracy in Bolivia characterize it as a developing South American country.

The Bolivian economy is made up of a mix of farming, mining and industry.
