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."
Prufrock has all the normal desires of a young man, but he is ultimately incapable of doing anything. He is compelled to think everything through, but it doesn't help him at all. The thoughts just can't transform into actions, in part because he is afraid, in part because he lacks confidence, and in part because he can see no sense in all of it. He doesn't "dare disturb the universe" by asking "an overwhelming question". He is only capable of entering trivial, petty interactions with the world obsessed with material, "the cups, the marmalade, the tea, / <span>Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me". This matter renders Prufrock's existence futile, and he is all too aware of it. His intelligence doesn't help him at all, because it locks him into a self-indulgent, passive world, rendering him aware of all the impossibilities.</span>
