Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

Poor people are indeed not able to meet their basic needs because they face multiple problems, especially related to food and health. The inability to fulfill basic needs such as food, shelter, healthcare, and education is a direct consequence of poverty. Poor people often suffer from hunger and malnutrition, and they are physically weak due to ill health or disabilities. Hence, both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
