Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

The poverty line is an estimated minimum income required to pay for food, shelter, and clothing. Anyone who falls below this estimated income is categorized as poor. It is calculated by tripling the cost of a minimal nutritional diet. The poverty line is criticized as being insufficient because its calculations are too low, given that shelter and clothing cost more than food, it does not account for significant differences in cost of living in various regions of the United States, and it doesn't include other expenses necessary to basic health such as child care, medical care and transportation.
