Argumentation in "The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes"

Question 8 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S1 [E4250OX]

Which excerpt from “The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes” supports Suzuki’s argument that she is “losing [her] future”?

Answer
A
Coming here today, I have no hidden agenda.
B
Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market.
C
And now we hear about animals and plants going extinct every day – vanishing forever.
D
I'm only a child, yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.

Explanation

Suzuki’s argument is that the future is being lost as the natural world is damaged. The excerpt about animals and plants “going extinct every day” and “vanishing forever” gives a concrete example of what is being lost. Choice B repeats the phrase “losing my future,” but does not provide supporting evidence for the argument.
