The question is about the Mass Poverty (Question:1096467.2)

According to the passage the mass poverty is seen in third world countries and in the Pockets of Europe and America. The answer you have provided meant that entire Europe and America are under mass poverty which is not right as per the passage.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions.


            Poverty has its own meaning in different persons. Poverty the state of being poor is a relative term. Poverty is always and every-where a social phenomenon in which a section of the society is unable to fulfill even its basic necessities of life. When a substantial segment of the society is deprived of minimum level of living and continues at a bare subsistence level that society is said to be plagued with mass poverty. The countries of the Third World exhibit invariably the existence of mass poverty, although pockets of poverty exist even in the developed countries of Europe and America.

            It is a matter of great disappointment for India’s economic planning that even after more than 60 years since Independence, India still suffers from the problem of mass poverty. Poverty is affecting our mind, affecting our state, our country and the world. Although there was the Global Economic Crisis, India was not as affected by it as was the USA and other European countries. This is because of the paradoxical situation of the Indian economy. It is ridden by extreme poverty on one side while it also has a thriving and growing economy on the other.

Dear Student,

No where in any of the statements would you find 'entire' Europe and America suffering from mass poverty. The mass poverty existed even in the Europe and America, irrespective of being called as developed countries.
Hope, this would help the clarification.
