a. more widespread and severe
b. more likely to involve men
c. a less serious problem
d. addressed more effectively

Answer 1

In poor nations, poverty is more widespread and severe compared to the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

In poor nations, poverty is more widespread and severe than in the United States. While poverty experienced in the United States is relative, meaning individuals or families may not have the means to live the lifestyle of the average person in the country, it is not as severe as absolute poverty which puts survival in jeopardy. In poor nations, people may have little access to basic necessities such as electricity, clean water, and education, and their life expectancy may be lower compared to high-income countries.
