Fill in the blank with the appropriate Article. We should always take care of ________ poor.

EXPLANATION: "The poor" is a specific group of people with shared characteristics, making it definite and requiring the definite article "the." "An" is used before words starting with a vowel sound, but "poor" begins with a consonant sound ("p"). No article is not used before nouns referring to groups of people unless it's a specific, established group (e.g., "the government"). In this case, "the poor" refers to a general group without a specific name. "A" is used before singular, countable nouns, but "the poor" refers to a plural group.
