Read the excerpt from Malala Yousafzai’s speech at the United Nations.

Women and children are suffering in many parts of the world in many ways. In India, innocent and poor children are victims of child labour. Many schools have been destroyed in Nigeria. People in Afghanistan have been affected by the hurdles of extremism for decades. Young girls have to do domestic child labour and are forced to get married at early age. Poverty, ignorance, injustice, racism and the deprivation of basic rights are the main problems faced by both men and women.

Which statement best explains the effectiveness of Yousafzai’s argument?

It is effective because she gives several examples to develop her claim.
It is not effective because she does not clearly state her claim in the excerpt.
It is not effective because she does not provide statistics to support her claim.
It is effective because she states her claim at the start and end of the excerpt.

Answer: A.

Step-by-step explanation:

In addition to being one of the Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin was also a scientist. One of his most famous endeavors was proving that lightning was electricity, though he never actually conducted hands-on experiments. Read the following fictionalized account and then answer the question after it.

Franklin had told his nephew Peter of his curiosities. Lightning had to be electricity, he explained, and not some other substance. The two were too similar in behavior and sound. But Peter never suspected the experiment would take the form it did—with his uncle bursting into the house with a kite and key still smoldering from the storm strike.

Which detail from the text supports the idea that the fiction author altered the historical facts?
