Ⅲ 次の架空のニュース英文を読み、設問に答えよ

In the city of Eastvale, a nonprofit organization called Shared Table has run a food bank for several years. At first, most of the people who came were older people living alone. Recently, however, more and more single-parent families have been asking for help. The organization's director says rising food prices are one reason: many low-income households now find it hard to buy enough food, even when the parents work full-time. Shared Table depends almost entirely on volunteers and donations. Last month it launched a crowdfunding campaign to buy a larger refrigerator, and it reached its goal in just ten days. The director hopes the city will do more, but she says that a food bank is "not a solution to poverty, only a way to help people get through(ア) hard times."

本文の訳を見る

イーストベール市では、「シェアード・テーブル」という非営利団体が数年前からフードバンクを運営している。当初、訪れる人の大半は一人暮らしの高齢者だった。しかし最近では、助けを求めるひとり親家庭がますます増えている。団体の代表によると、食料品価格の上昇が理由の1つだという。多くの低所得世帯では、親がフルタイムで働いていても、十分な食料を買うのが難しくなっているのだ。シェアード・テーブルは、ほぼ全面的にボランティアと寄付に頼っている。先月、もっと大きな冷蔵庫を買うためのクラウドファンディングを始めたところ、わずか10日で目標額に達した。代表は市にもっと取り組んでほしいと願っているが、フードバンクは「貧困の解決策ではなく、人々が苦しい時期を乗り切る手助けをする手段にすぎない」と話している。
