__________ poor are generally weak.
Answer: C
The article is The: The poor are generally weak.
The placed before an adjective turns it into a plural noun for a whole class of people: the poor, the rich, the young, the blind. That is why the verb is plural, are.
A and an go only before singular countable nouns and cannot make an adjective stand for a group; a poor are is ungrammatical. Without any article, Poor are generally weak is also wrong, so "None of these" fails.
Such phrases always take a plural verb and refer to people in general: The rich should help the poor.
