Answer 1

C) Little Free Libraries are growing in popularity around the world because they bring neighbors together and make books more accessible.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. is not the right answer. While DooSun liked building Little Free Libraries because, as he says, books are equal to treasure and he wanted to share it, this is not the main concept of the selection. DooSun‘s story is only part of the text.

B. is not correct. Little Free Libraries are not built by gathered funds, but by individual people.

C. is the correct answer. The point of the excerpt is to tell the story of a few Little Free Libraries and how they grow around the world. The text tries to explain this is because people feel a sense of community, as this way they can share their experiences about books with the neighbors since Little Free Libraries make reading more accessible to all in the area.

D. is not the correct answer. While Little Free Libraries are hand build boxes for various novels, this is just an explanation of what they are and not the main idea of the text.
