Vocabulary
rated/was placed
Hi,
I don't know how to use this expression in the sentence:
In 1991 Italy rated very highly/was placed rather high on the scale of 99 observed countries.
Do you have a better idea? Please help me.

Hi, I'd say your wording is fine. I suggest that you use 'rate' rather than 'place', because the purpose of a scale is to facilitate rating. I'd use 'place' when speaking of a list.
