The correct answer is A. The terrible conditions in poorhouses kept many poor people away. 1. Poorhouses were often known for their harsh and dreadful living conditions, which deterred many impoverished individuals from seeking assistance there. 2. The poorhouses were intended to provide relief to the poor, but the undesirable conditions within these institutions made them unattractive and even unbearable for many people in need. 3. Due to the uninviting nature of poorhouses, a significant portion of the poor population opted to avoid these establishments, leading to the failure of the new Poor Law in effectively improving the conditions of the impoverished individuals it aimed to assist.
