Answer 1

The references provided do not directly answer how lawmakers are enabling young people to understand how the natural world works; the closest speculative answer relates to school board standards. Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

The author of "We Live on Planet A: Young People Rally for Their Rights" seems to argue that education is crucial in enabling young people to understand the complexities of the natural world and their roles within it. This can be seen through the emphasis on the educational initiatives and policies that foster environmental awareness.

One specific example mentioned in context would be the way school boards, like those in California, set standards that integrate the understanding of our planet into the school curriculum. However, none of the provided references directly mention lawmakers helping students understand the natural world through education.

Given the context provided, if we were to speculate, option (b) might be closest to illustrating the idea, as it relates to school boards and potentially their role in education standards. Still, the references provided do not affirm our speculation. Option b
