WJEC GCSE History Of Medicine Practice Test

Which of the following was NOT among the Beveridge Report's five evil giants?

Idleness Disease Ignorance Poverty

Correct Answer:

Poverty

Explanation:

The question tests your recall of the Beveridge Report’s five “giant evils.” Beveridge identified Want, Disease, Ignorance, Squalor, and Idleness as the main threats to welfare. Poverty isn’t listed as one of the five; it’s what Want represents. So the option that denotes Poverty isn’t one of the giants, while the others (Disease, Ignorance, Idleness) are. Want is the term used in the report to describe the deprivation poverty implies, which is why Poverty is the correct choice for not being among the five.
