Question

A microfinance institution would most likely offer a loan to an entrepreneur who:

A. lives in a wealthy and developed country.
B. works for a multinational corporation.
C. belongs to a marginalized social group.
D. is openly critical of free trade policies.

Answer 1

A microfinance group (institution) would loan to an individual who was part of a marginalized social group.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C. "belongs to a marginalized social group". Microfinance institutions are non-governmental organizations that could follow a bank scheme to provide financial support to the poor. Therefore it is more likely that a microfinance institution would provide a loan to an entrepreneur that belongs to a marginalized group.
