Explanation:

Question 49:

GDP measures the total value of goods and services produced in a country. Higher GDP generally (though not always perfectly) correlates with a better standard of living as it reflects economic output available for consumption, investment, etc. Debt accumulation relates to financial obligations, the Millennium Project is a broader initiative, and the GINI coefficient measures income inequality.

Question 50:

"Entrenched" means firmly established. When poverty is entrenched, its consequences (like lack of education due to poverty leading to lower - income jobs perpetuating poverty) create a cycle. "Informal" refers to unregulated, "camouflaged" to hidden, and "less likely" contradicts the idea of a cycle.

Answer:

Question 49: C. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Question 50: D. entrenched
