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.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of legalising baby bins?
yan [13]
There are ADVANTAGE of legalizing baby bins or baby hatches which are typically used to leave the newborn babies by their parent who do not want them for certain reasons and abandon them there.
This can save many lives of the newborns as the other way people might choose is killing the babies or abandoning them at places where no one might ever find them.
The baby left there will have a positive opportunity to flourish in the society unlike the one left at street as the hatches are monitored by law.

There can be some DISADVANTAGES as well to the scheme as it might help promote immoral behaviors in society. A key factor in stopping immoral activities is the fear of society, and baby bins remove that fear. Another risk can be of an increasing tendency of rapes where people might think its OK to give birth to children and then leave them to baby bins.

Cloud [144]

The correct answer is A) the Native Americans were forced to move west of the Mississippi River.

In the late 1700's many pioneers started moving into the Ohio Valley. The impact that this white movement had on the Native Americans that already lived in the Ohio Valley was that the Native Americans were forced to move west of the Mississippi River.

At the end of the 18th. century, white people started to move west and settled in the territories that formerly belonged to many Native American Indian tribes. Tribes in the Ohio River Valley were displaced due to the establishing of white Americans that had a different culture and tradition. These Native American Indians were displaced to other land and had to move further west to keep their own rituals, customs, and traditions.
