Question 5 • 2026 Summer 305 ELA/ESOL CR_Grade 7
Read the excerpt from “The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes.”Two days ago here in Brazil, we were shocked when we spent some time with some children living on the streets. And this is what one child told us: "I wish I was rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicine, shelter, and love and affection."If a child on the street who has nothing is willing to share, why are we who have everything still so greedy?
Answer
A
to challenge listeners to visit children on the streets
B
to connect listeners to the topic of poverty
C
to challenge listeners to give a homeless child a home
D
to connect listeners to times when they have shared
Explanation
The speaker shares a child’s words about lacking basic needs, then asks why people who have plenty are still greedy. This rhetorical question encourages listeners to think about poverty and inequality, connecting them to the topic. The excerpt does not specifically ask listeners to visit children or give a particular child a home.
