Answer 1

Rural Dwellers suffer burns at higher rates than urban dwellers

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason this statement is correct is because if you think about the different settings that people live in. It is very unlikely that males in South Asia are more likely to be burned than females.

Rural dwellers often live in poverty, meaning they cannot afford proper housing, and if they can there are not many luxuries they can afford, and some have to make fires to keep themselves warm during the winter months.

However, urban dwellers are far better off because they are able to afford luxuries such as heaters which pose a lesser risk than an open fire.
