III. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
I spend my days fighting poverty in New York City, so this time of year I get asked a lot at holiday
parties what people can do to help the poor. I like the question. At the Robin Hood Foundation, we’ve
spent 27 years trying to answer it.
As with any complex social issue, there are myriad reasons that people are poor. So we break
down the problem to create short and long-term change. We aim to make life better for people who are
poor while at the same time attacking the root causes of poverty. Once we’ve identified the various
needs, we use empirical data to identify and support programs that create real results.
It’s a process that works for our organization, and it can work for charity-minded individuals too.
Getting smart about the underlying causes of poverty will allow you to connect on a deeper level,
which matters: Donors are more likely to commit to a cause when it resonates emotionally. From there,
you can then do a little digging to determine which organization is worthy of your support.
So, in case we don’t see each other at a party this season, there are six key barriers poor people
regularly face: homelessness, hunger, health, unemployment, immigration, and education. And while
they are often interconnected, eliminating just one leads to an improved living standard. Whichever
tugs at your heart, there’s a group in your area ready to use your time or money effectively.

18. Which of the following is mentioned as an aim of the Robin Hood Foundation according to the
passage?
A. Answering poor people's questions B. Making life better for poor people
C. Identifying people's various needs D. Improving people's living standard
19. The word "underlying" in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.
A. primary B. important C. additional D. direct
