A.

Mary’s newborn has diarrhea. He can’t get well and is very dehydrated. Mary doesn’t realize that the water they have access to is part of the problem. The next morning, she finds her baby unconscious.

 

B.

Mary is traveling to Kenya to see her relatives during summer break from college. 

C.

There isn’t any running water in the house, so Mary uses a bucket and some of the water she got from the drinking fountain at the city park to bath herself before she goes to school.

 

D.

Mary is an infant who was just born in Costa Rica so she can reasonably expect a general life expectancy of 82 years due in part because Costa Rica is a, upper-middle income nation.

 

E.

Mary just paid her credit card bill using the app on her smartphone. She can’t seem to get out from under that debt. She thought getting that promotion at work last year would enable her to have some extra money for a vacation or something with her kids, but she just can’t seem to save enough to do something like that.
