Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the "culture of poverty" theory, the urban poor lack solidarity, organization, and long-term goals, which makes it difficult for them to escape poverty. This theory suggests that poverty is not just a result of economic circumstances, but also a result of a distinct cultural pattern formed by long-term exposure to poverty. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because the theory does not suggest that the limited education of the urban poor prevents them from becoming cultured. Option C is incorrect because the theory suggests that there is a distinct culture of poverty that is different from other cultures, and not that the urban and rural poor share a common culture. Option D is incorrect because the theory does not suggest that long-term poverty forms a natural bond between the urban and rural poor.
