Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
A target area for the Millennium Development Goals campaign to promote global health is to halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger and halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than 1 a day. Ensuring that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling is a target area for achieving universal primary education. Eliminating gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015 is a target area to promote gender equality and empower women.
