The term "decoupling" refers to the breaking of the link between economic growth and environmental degradation. Historically, economic growth has been linked to environmental damage, particularly greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It aims to promote economic growth while reducing or eliminating negative environmental impacts, mostly in the form of emissions. Statement 1 is incorrect: Absolute decoupling occurs when the economy grows while emissions decrease. It shows the ideal form of decoupling, in which economic growth occurs without increasing environmental harm. Statement 2 is incorrect: Relative decoupling occurs when both GDP and emissions increase, but GDP growth exceeds emissions growth. This represents progress, but emissions continue to rise, however at a slower rate than GDP.

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Arab Spring was a series of anti-government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions that spread through much of the Arab world in the early 2010s. It started in Tunisia as a response to corruption and economic stagnation. The protests began in Tunisia and spread to five other countries: Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, and Bahrain. Rulers were deposed (Zine El Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia in 2011, Muammar Gaddafi of Libya in 2011, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt in 2011, and Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen in 2012). Statement 2 is correct: The term "Levant" refers to the historical and geographical subregion that borders the Eastern Mediterranean Sea to the west and core West Asia, also known as the Middle East in politics. In its broadest historical sense, the Levant included all of the Eastern Mediterranean, including its islands; that is, all of the countries along the Eastern Mediterranean shores, extending from Greece in Southern Europe to Egypt and Cyrenaica (Eastern Libya) in Northern Africa.
