Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

The poverty line is the way that the U. S. government defines those who are in poverty. It sets an income threshold that is necessary for purchasing basic necessities. Below that threshold, which varies by family size, people are considered to be in poverty. Criticisms of the poverty line center on what it fails to measure. It takes into account only pre-tax income and does not adjust for differences in cost of living from city to city or from state to state. For example, it is much more expensive to live in San Francisco, California, than in Ashland, Kentucky. It also does not take into account any assistance that poor families receive, such as food stamps. It was established in 1960 and has been updated yearly, accounting only for inflation.
