Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The core of the woman's disadvantage is her lack of material well-being, as indicated by her inability to pay rent, sell off possessions, and eventually become homeless. While factors such as worker exploitation and social inequality may contribute to this lack of material well-being, they are not the central issue in this scenario. Resource deprivation may also play a role, but it is not as directly related to the woman's housing situation as her lack of material resources.
