Question 10 • FL-1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 B
Read the excerpt from “The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes.”Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying, "Everything's going to be alright," "We're doing the best we can," and "It's not the end of the world."But I don't think you can say that to us anymore. Are we even on your list of priorities?
Answer
A
think of how their actions affect their children.
B
think of new sayings to comfort their children.
C
spend more quality time with their children.
D
spend more time comforting their children.
Explanation
The speaker contrasts the comforting words adults use with the reality that young people are worried about the future. By asking, “Are we even on your list of priorities?” she challenges adults to consider how their decisions affect children. She is not asking them to invent new sayings or simply spend more time together.
