Explanation:

The bar graph shows single - parent families have a much higher poverty rate (37.1%) than married - parent families (6.8%). Children in single - parent homes (with higher poverty) would have less financial resources.

• Option 1: Higher poverty means less ability to afford college without loans, so this is wrong.
• Option 2: Higher poverty makes them more likely to rely on reduced - cost lunches, so this is wrong.
• Option 3: Higher poverty makes them less likely to live in middle - class neighborhoods, so this is wrong.
• Option 4: Less money due to poverty means they are less likely to have money for extracurricular activities, which matches the financial constraints of poverty.

Answer:

They are less likely to have money for extracurricular activities.
