In many rural areas hospitals are ________ equipped because of the ________ of funds from the government.
- optimally, disparity
- inadequately, scarcity ✓
- well, dearth
- faulty, lacking
- None of the above
Explanation: Correct! The correct answer is option B – inadequately, scarcity. “Inadequately” means not sufficiently or poorly, and “scarcity” means shortage or lack, fitting the context of hospitals being poorly equipped due to lack of funds. Example: “Schools in remote areas are inadequately equipped because of the scarcity of resources.”
