Correct answers: A, B, and C.
- A and B describe common rural problems: country communities often have fewer local economic-development opportunities and greater geographic/economic isolation, so solutions focus on job creation, transportation, broadband, and market access.
- C describes urban problems: city poverty produces concentrated, complex social-network and social-disorganization issues that require different interventions (targeted social services, community policing, housing policy).
- D is misleading: while some urban neighborhoods have inadequate housing or aging facilities, overall cities usually have denser infrastructure; widespread "poor infrastructure" is more characteristic of many rural areas.
