Answer:
Persist
Explanation:
In the statement in question, the highlighted/odd word is tolerate. The statement makes almost no sense with the use of the word tolerate. However, when tolerate is replaced with the word "persist", it gives the statement more meaning. Persist as a word means "continue to exist". Thus the statement becomes "More than half a decade after the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that leveled Haiti, serious social and public health problems PERSIST, including inadequate housing, political corruption, and the spread of cholera."
