Jiro had a good job working as a roofer. However, he was mountain biking with a friend and broke his leg, so he could not work for two months. This meant that he had to use his savings to pay expenses. Unfortunately, his leg did not heal properly, and he learned he would need to have surgery. He is quickly running out of savings and does not have family or friends who can help him. How likely is Jiro to become poor? (1 point)

Responses

The most accurate response is: Very likely because he is running out of possible resources and cannot work at this time.

Jiro's situation indicates that his inability to work due to his injury and the need for surgery is leading him to deplete his savings, which puts him at a high risk of becoming poor.
