Select the correct text in the passage
Which detail from paragraph 2 best supports the passage's central idea?
"We are problem-solving peopler The thought returned to me again and again as I listened in amazement during several workshops with a variety of focuses at the Points of Light 2013
Conference on Volunteering and Service. Each and every workshop seemed to be merely a variation on this one, concrete theme that is the heart of every service venture. I would say it is
this identity that is the service community's greatest asset-the ability to recognize a need, and rise to not only a solution, but to work in a way that invites each person to be a part of
something greater than themselves in a fashion that only giving back can truly do. This sort of innovation is truly ingenious-an undeniable mainstay of productivity that any society should
prize. And let's face it, our world isn't going to run out of problems soon-child hunger, education inequality, international humanitarian injustice-take your pick, there are oodles of issues ripe
for the picking, and application of the dedicated hard work of people who recognize their severity is in high demand
