Answer: The official poverty line can be traced to Mollie Orshansky.

Explanation:

The official definition of the poverty line in the United States can be traced to an individual named Mollie Orshansky. Orshansky while working for the Social Security Administration, published an article titled “Children of the Poor” in the Social Security Bulletin in 1963. The idea was to define a poverty line that was based on the cost of a healthy diet.

Her former job was at the United States Department of Agriculture where her role was to calculate the cost of feeding a nutritionally adequate diet to a family. She found that one-third of income is spent on food by the average family. She then posited that the poverty line is the amount needed to purchase a nutritionally adequate diet, while taking the size of the family into consideration and multiplied by three.

King says condemning his peaceful actions for precipitating violence is like:a. condemning a robbed man because he had money b.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

All of them

Explanation:

The king condemning his own peaceful actions to be the cause of violence is in complete contradiction to one another. An oddity occurs and the action is in complete contrast to the outcome. One cannot justify that the corresponding actions may have led to the specific outcome. such is also the case in the example:

a; condemning a robbed man for having too much money does in no way justifies the action of robbing. Blaming a source that was done only for the reason of ones own satisfaction.

b; condemning Socrates for his truth to force people to make him drink the hemlock, is as absurd as the above example.

c; condemning Jesus for his devotion to God shows that the intention of the action was completely different but the outcome was in complete contrast.
