What were two things severely hurting the soviet economy just prior to its fall?

The correct answer to this question is A) The agriculture and manufacture sectors were not meeting people’s needs.

The two things that severely hurt the Soviet Union just prior to its fall were that the agriculture and manufacture sectors were not meeting people’s needs.  

Prior to the dissolve of the Soviet Union, agriculture lived difficult times in the country. Farmers were not producing up to the demands of the people. Another aspect that failed to meet people’s expectations was manufacture, that could not fulfill what Soviets citizens were demanding. When Mikhail Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union in 1985, the country faced several economic problems and people were angry and some regions wanted their independence. The dissolution of the Soviet Union happened in December 1991.

The other options to this question were b) it was in the middle of fighting a protracted war in Pakistan, c) falling oil prices caused loss of income for the Soviet Union export business, and d) Russia had managed to find itself in a major trade deficit, which proved unhealthy.

why

answer: a parliamentary system is a system of democratic governance of a state where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the confidence of the legislature, typically a parliament, and is also held accountable to that parliament. in a parliamentary system, the head of state is usually a person distinct from the head of government. this is in contrast to a presidential system, where the head of state often is also the head of government and, most importantly, the executive does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature.

countries with parliamentary democracies may be constitutional monarchies, where a monarch is the head of state while the head of government is almost always a member of parliament (such as the united kingdom, denmark, sweden, and japan), or parliamentary republics, where a mostly ceremonial president is the head of state while the head of government is regularly from the legislature (such as ireland, germany, india, and italy). in a few parliamentary republics, such as botswana, south africa, and suriname, among some others, the head of government is also head of state, but is elected by and is answerable to parliament. in bicameral parliaments, the head of government is generally, though not always, a member of the lower house.

parliamentarianism is the dominant form of government in europe, with 32 of its 50 sovereign states being parliamentarian. it is also common in the caribbean, being the form of government of 10 of its 13 island states, and in oceania. elsewhere in the world, parliamentary countries are less common, but they are distributed through all continents, most often in former colonies of the british empire that subscribe to a particular brand of parliamentarianism known as the westminster system.
