Question

Another English 2 multiple choice question, will post below.

Answer 1

Read the following paragraph.

What does it mean to go hungry? According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it means not having access to enough food to live a healthy life. It means not knowing when or what one will eat, and for some, it means missing a meal every day or even going without food for days. Forty-nine million Americans, 17 million of whom are children, go hungry each day (Nord). Hunger happens in small towns and big cities, among every age, race, and gender. It does not discriminate and causes harm to every person that suffers from it. Hunger weakens the body and causes those who regularly go without food to become sick more easily. Research indicates that child hunger poses dangers to overall development, behavior, and school performance ("The Links Between Nutrition and Cognitive Development of Children").
