Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Step 1: Recall the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The MDGs, established by the United Nations in 2000, include eight specific goals to be achieved by 2015, focusing on poverty, health, education, and equality.
Step 2: Match with the options.
The correct MDGs include: eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and developing a global partnership for development. Option (E) aligns with poverty eradication, improving maternal health, universal primary education, and combating AIDS, which are key components.
Step 3: Eliminate distractors.
(A) Includes reducing trade barriers, not an MDG.
(B) Includes equal employment, not a specific MDG.
(C) Includes reducing unemployment and promoting diversity, not MDG targets.
(D) Includes globalization, not an MDG.
Therefore: The correct answer is (E). \[ \boxed{\text{E}} \]
