Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

The nation's largest minority groups, African Americans and Hispanics, have higher household income, complete more schooling, and enjoy longer life expectancy today than in 1975 . White Americans have made similar strides in all three areas. The greatest strides have been made in educational attainment. However, in other areas, the gap remains and, if one analyzes it closely, has actually increased in some instances. Black household median incomes in 2012 have yet to match the levels that Whites had in 1975 . Hispanics are not doing much better in this area. Latinos and African Americans still have triple the poverty rates of their White counterparts. Also, Black Americans today have barely matched the life expectancy that Whites had a generation earlier. Similarly, many minority Americans remain entrenched in poverty: nearly one out of four Hispanics and African Americans.
