Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "explain how adults usually behave greedily".

Step-by-step explanation:

The speech “The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes” was given by Severn Suzuki when she was 12 years old. She talked in behalf of the Environmental Children’s Organization to make conscience about how we are damaging the environment and the direct consequences we suffer for it. On her speech she talked about a child living in the favelas in Rio de Janeiro who told her that he wish he was rich so he can take care of all the children that live on the streets. It is likely that she included this analogy to make conscience in the audience that adults usually behave greedily. She explains later by stating that all the money spent in war should had been spent to find environmental answers and end poverty.
