Answer:
D) Chronically
Explanation:
The word “chronically” is used to describe states that are repeated and long-lasting, and it is often used in medical contexts. This choice therefore has the most appropriate denotative and connotative meaning in a discussion of health and safety risks.
The biggest problem for racial integration is that people live in segregated areas: so simply a school can have a majority of children from one background because the area around the school is inhabited by people of this background.
So the correct answer is d. Segregated housing patterns are still common in many communities.
