Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The harsh judgment of the non-poor towards the poor indicates that they may lack an understanding of the limited choices and opportunities that the poor have. This suggests that option E, which highlights the fact that the poor have fewer choices than the non-poor, is the most appropriate answer. Options A, B, C, and D are all incorrect or irrelevant as they do not accurately reflect the circumstances of the poor in relation to the attitudes of the non-poor.
