To determine which statement is true regarding Africa’s poverty issue, let's analyze the options:

  1. Sub-Saharan countries are in a higher income bracket than many of the southern African countries. - This statement is misleading, as southern African countries (like Botswana, South Africa, and Namibia) typically have higher income levels compared to many Sub-Saharan countries.

  2. Many of the southern African countries are in a higher income bracket than many of the Sub-Saharan countries. - This statement is generally true. Southern African countries often have higher income levels than several other Sub-Saharan countries.

  3. Sub-Saharan countries generally fare better than North African countries. - This statement is not true. North African countries, on average, have higher incomes and better development indicators than many Sub-Saharan countries.

  4. A majority of Africa’s countries are in the higher income bracket. - This statement is false; most African countries fall into low to middle-income brackets.

Based on the analysis, the correct response is:

Many of the southern African countries are in a higher income bracket than many of the Sub-Saharan countries.
