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.

How did the nuclear era begin?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The United States developed and used the first nuke in WW2

Explanation:

America dropped the bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some people say it was inhumane to decimate entire cities in a war. However, America would not have entered the war in the first place if they were not provoked by the unjustified obliteration of a US Navy fleet and base that occurred a few years prior at Pearl Harbor. The nuclear bombs created an instant submission of the opposing forces and helped bring an end to WW2. This did, however, lead to the cold war era between the world superpowers.
