The subsection Looking Forward provides sufficient evidence for which of the following claims?

Before Hurricane Maria, many citizens of the island of Puerto Rico struggled with more hardship than most Americans living in the U.S.

Global warming is the reason why we are experiencing more extreme weather events like hurricanes today.

Puerto Rico was treated differently from other areas of the U.S. after Hurricane Maria.

The initial death toll in Puerto Rico was intentionally misleading.

Which piece of text evidence below most strongly supports your answer to the previous question?

The damage of the hurricane was a profound hardship because 44% of Puerto Ricans live in poverty, compared to 12% of mainland Americans.

Hurricane Harvey, a Category 4 hurricane, hit Texas in August.

For those in poverty, it is much more difficult to recover from a natural disaster.

Hurricanes are becoming stronger and more frequent due to global warming, making it inevitable that Puerto Rico will be hit by a hurricane again.

Select three details from the article that strongly support the claim you identified in the previous question:

FEMA denied applicants who could not prove home and land ownership with specific types of legal documents.

Nine days after each storm, FEMA had delivered considerably fewer meals, water, and tarps to victims of Hurrican Maria when compared to the numbers sent to victims of Hurricanes Irma and Harvey.

FEMA originally did not send Spanish-speaking representatives to Puerto Rico, even though most of the island's residents speak Spanish only.

At least 12 billion dollars has been spent in t he ongoing recovery effort, much of that money going to rebuilding homes.

Without access to power, businesses were disrupted and many Puerto Ricans struggled to earn money.

Which claim below is most strongly supported by the graphic data on the second page of the article?

FEMA did not provide equal support to citizens affected by Hurricane Maria.

FEMA provided exemplary support to citizens affected by Hurricane Irma.

FEMA sent too many federal workers to Texas after Hurricane Harvey.
