To determine which label belongs over Column A, let's analyze the items listed in each column and categorize them accordingly.
Column A:
- water
- safe housing
- shirt
Column B:
- coffee
- beach house
- designer blouse
We are given four potential labels: Benefit, Cost, Need, and Want.
1. Benefit: This label would typically refer to something that provides an advantage or gain, but it's too broad for the specific items listed.
2. Cost: This is an expense or price paid for something, and it doesn't seem to describe the items in Column A, as they are more about necessities and not expenses related to wants.
3. Need: These are essential items required for living. Let’s verify:
- Water is essential for survival.
- Safe housing is crucial for shelter and protection.
- A shirt is necessary for clothing.
All items in Column A fit the description of needs.
4. Want: These are items that are desirable but not essential for living. Let's apply this to Column B for comparison:
- Coffee is optional and can be seen as a want.
- A beach house is a luxury, not a necessity.
- A designer blouse is also a luxury item.
The items in Column B fit the description of wants more accurately.
Since Column A consists of items necessary for living, the correct label for Column A is Need. Therefore, the label that belongs over Column A is "Need".
Hence, the label "Need" aligns perfectly with the list in Column A. This matches with index 3 if we consider the order of labels provided.
So the detailed solution leads us to conclude that "Need" belongs over Column A, and the corresponding answer is:
#### 3 (the index corresponding to "Need")
