d. ability to solve their own problems involving poverty.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is a

Explanation:

Wealth and educational attainment are the main sources of disparities between blacks and other ethnic groups. The gap between black and white americans decreased since the 1970's. However, in terms of the capacity of accumulating wealth, black people are still more likely to end in poverty in a ratio of 2:1 against white americans. This trend is similar in education, where black college graduates income than white graduates.

Studies also show that blacks are less likely to complete a college degree than white americans. Though the gap has narrowed slightly, whites are still 1.5:1 as likely as black people to complete their college degree.
