Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Describe the basic characteristics of life in a poor slum based upon the knowledge obtained from this chapter.
2. Explain what approaches would be pursued with the goal of survival and well-being, for example, one might seek out international agency support for aid in the organization of a small business.
3. Using evidence from the reading, discuss those strategies might not be feasible. For instance, moving away from the city to a rural area may be untenable if one lacks knowledge of survival in a farming context.
4. Provide clear reasons for backing or rejecting revolution as a means of altering one's impoverishment. Historical precedence, and the tendency of revolutionary governments to fall back into the habits of prior governments, should be discussed.
5. Offer a concise summary and effective conclusion.
