Which excerpt from “The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes” is a fact?

Answer
A
In Canada, we live the privileged life. . . .
B
We cannot afford to be not heard.
C
I am afraid to breathe the air. . . .
D
. . . animals and plants going extinct every day . . .

Explanation

A fact is a statement that can be checked against evidence. The excerpt about animals and plants going extinct every day describes something that can be verified, so the correct choice is “animals and plants going extinct every day.” The other excerpts express a judgment, a plea, or a personal feeling rather than a directly verifiable claim.
