Although it was【C7】______that "the poor will always be with us", the individual was expected to improve himself【C8】______acts of his own will. Charity was thought to be the【C9】______of idleness. By keeping wages low, labourers would be【C10】______to work harder.

There was a potentially dangerous class in【C12】______of disease and disorder. The "poor" were【C13】______as different from "paupers".
