"Poverty in the United States: An Overview" by Cliff Brown
Brown presents key facts about the nature, extent, and causes of poverty in the U.S. He makes two main points: 1) Aggregate rates of poverty do not capture variation in its rate across sub-groups in the U.S., and 2) Americans tend to explain the causes of poverty in terms of personal and individual causal factors, such as the ability, efforts, and morals of people rather than their circumstances such as discrimination and blocked socioeconomic opportunities.
-Which of the following do not experience relatively high rates of poverty?
A) Children
B) Those in female-headed households
C) Racial minorities
D) Those in the rural Midwest.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brown states that poverty rates vary across sub-groups in the U.S. and does not specifically mention those in the rural Midwest as experiencing relatively high rates of poverty. Therefore, D is the best choice as it is not mentioned as a group experiencing high rates of poverty. A, B, and C are all mentioned as experiencing relatively high rates of poverty.
