Answer 1

Answer:

Out of the options that you have listed for the question concerned at hand, the correct answer is D. Dublin being a capital city in Ireland

Explanation:

Dublin being a capital city in Ireland is one such factor.

It is such which would  not lead us to believe that Dublin is a primate city.

Why? Because, a primate city is the largest city in a country.

Therefore, its always going to rank first in its country in regard to politics, media, culture, economy and institutions like educational ones.

All countries have a capital city but its not a case that all of these capital cities are not a primate city.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

• No universities are located in Dublin. Dublin is the capital and primary city of Ireland.

• The ‘main’ area consists of the ‘inner-city’, which is between the Royal Canal in the north , and the Grand Canal in the south.

• The ‘periphery’ consists of the expanding suburban area of Dublin, which forms a ring around the inner-city.
• Opulation, demographic, employment and land-use changes have occurred in the inner-city and suburban areas in the past number of decades
