Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Streib argues that older people are not a minority in the same sense that racial and ethnic groups are, as they represent a growing share of the population and have historical and political power. Therefore, option A is the best choice. Option B is incorrect as Streib suggests that older people are not necessarily more disadvantaged than other minorities. Option C is also incorrect as Streib does not claim that older people are an advantaged segment of the population. Option D is not supported by Streib's argument, as he does not make any claims about the risk of poverty among different age groups.
