Literacy rates in the middle east are a. declining for both men and women b. rising for men, but not for women c. improving for both men and women d. remaining the same for both men and women

I would say C. I remember seeing a lot of junk with Obama and women over there getting the right to learn. I would assume the rate for men is always increasing over time. I hope that helps.

I believe it is C because they wanted rises for both men and women for jobs and so on even though in some countries men still get paid more than women this is used for equally abilities and pay.

D. providing for public safety
