Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Families, and especially children, have borne a disproportionate burden of the recent economic failures. After tremendous strides in family economic well-being throughout the 1990s, the 2000s have seen a steady decline. Additionally, the number of children living below the poverty line has risen throughout the decade and is projected to continue to rise. Minority families and female-only households have been the hardest hit.
