Compose a well-developed paragraph defending to what extent the “rank size rule” is proven valid or invalid based upon the populations of this country’s five largest cities
Way off for this one, not even remotely accurate the other previous countries could have worked, but this is ridiculous. For this country at least this rule does not apply at all. The rank size rule is based on european countries and I defiantly see that it does not apply here. Its not even close enough to help with guessing if you're stranded in the desert. Thus far I'm not impressed.
