tester [92]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answer is B. Increasing

Explanation:

In sociology, poverty occurs when an individual or a group of people are unable to pay for basic elements such as food, clothes, and housing and therefore basics need are not fulfilled or at least not completely satisfied. Poverty rates vary according to the country or zone, but also according to different groups in society. In the case of elderly, this is a group in society that is at risk of experiencing poverty due to lack of job opportunities, lack of saving and health issues that stop them from working. Because of this, it is estimated in the U.S. a decade ago around 9% of elderly people living in poverty and unfortunately, in the last years, this percentage has increased to around 15% mainly due to the economic recession the U.S. experienced during the 21st century along with programs and laws that have increased taxes. Therefore, today the poverty rate of the elderly in the United States is mainly increasing.

Pachacha [2.7K]

hello,

here is your answer:

**********

The most important characteristic of an arid climate is a lack of moisture. The soil is dry, the air is dry, and yearly precipitation is very low. They are found throughout the Middle East. Desert climates have hot summers and very little rainfall.  The deserts of the Middle East receive very little rainfall. The temperature can climb as high as 40-45°C (104-113°F). Most Arid areas do not have regular seasons. However, some places do have changes in temperature depending on the latitude and the surrounding climates. So, since there are temperature differences, we can say there are 2 seasons, summer and winter.

hope this helped,
