129. When a typhoon struck Taiwan, people in the Philippines sent massive amounts of aid in the form of supplies and workers.

This led many in Pakistan to proclaim that the people of the Philippines did not care about them as much as they cared about people in Taiwan.

Which of the following would undermine the idea that the Philippines did not care for the earthquake victims?
  1. The Philippines is a poor country and is reliant on aid programs for its own survival.
  2. The earthquake was by all accounts a much larger disaster than the typhoon.
  3. Distance and logistics made getting supplies and workers to Pakistan impossible for the Philippines, although they were able to send supplies to much closer Taiwan.
  4. The Philippines was hoping that by assisting in the typhoon recovery effort, they would achieve a friendlier relationship with Taiwan.
