Answer 2

The poor are honest by nature.

Explanation:

• In this sentence, it is a kind of saying or a universal statement therefore the word poor is not just limited to one person but to all the people under its category.
• Therefore now we know that we cannot use "is" here because poor acts as a plural word.
• Another reason why "are" is used here is that "honest" is an uncountable noun.
