What does 'the poverty line/receded further' signify ?
Answer: B
The line signifies that poverty is increasing.
The poverty line is the threshold below which people count as poor. If it 'receded further', it moved away from the people living below it, so more of them fall under it and their distance from it grows. The line before it, 'All the plans failed', supports this: the schemes meant to lift people out of poverty did not work.
'No consequence', 'a thing of the past' and 'going down' all suggest that poverty is easing, which contradicts the poem's picture of hunger and failure.
