Which term means state of poverty or hardship?

• A. Kahirapan
• B. Basal
• C. Mabuting edukasyon
• D. Paghahambing at pagtatambis

Answer: (A)

Kahirapan conveys the state of poverty or hardship. It describes a condition where basic needs like food, shelter, and income are lacking, which is exactly what “state of poverty or hardship” refers to. The other terms don’t fit that idea: basal isn’t used to express poverty, mabuting edukasyon means good education, and paghahambing at pagtatambis refers to comparing and contrasting.
