Answer 2

The answer to this question will be option C, "A major challenge facing African governments is finding a way to effectively combat the AIDS epidemic."

• It is given in the chart that Sub-Saharan Africa had about 24.5 million HIV cases.
• The worldwide number of cases was 38.6 million.
• It is clear that Africa's number of cases is far higher than 20% of the world. Thus, option A is false.
• Poverty and lack of education are important factors that have pushed up the African AIDS rate. But, they are far from the only ones.
• Lack of government intervention and corruption are but two of the many more factors responsible for this tragic situation. Thus, option B is false.
• AIDS is a major challenge that all African governments must deal with consciously. Combating this epidemic is very important for the well-being of the continent. Thus, option C is correct.
• We have not been provided with any reasons in the chart as to why the AIDS rate is lower in North America. Thus, option D is incorrect.
• Hence, the answer to this question will be option C, "A major challenge facing African governments is finding a way to effectively combat the AIDS epidemic."
