The provided passages do not contain information about what questions remain unanswered in the book "Poverty and Famines: An Essay on Entitlement and Deprivation." The passages describe the book's main focus on the causation of starvation and famines, and its development of the 'entitlement approach' for analysis, concentrating on ownership and exchange rather than food supply [1]. The book also offers a general analysis of poverty characterization and measurement, critically examining various approaches from economics, sociology, and political theory [1].

Therefore, while the passages outline the core themes and analytical methods of the book, they do not specify any remaining unanswered questions.
